The new Sans Souci terminal at the Santo Domingo port was officially inaugurated yesterday, in the presence of President Leonel Fernandez. Sans Souci is part of a US$45 million port renovation project. During the inauguration ceremony the audience, which included Santo Domingo Mayor Robert Salcedo, Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua and Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garcia, welcomed the arrival of the Vision of the Sea Royal Caribbean cruise liner. Sans Souci president Lisandro Macarulla, who spoke at the event, estimates that 20,400 new jobs will be created and that the terminal has the capacity to handle 3,000 passengers, plus crew. Macarulla said that the real estate part of the renovation project would begin once the Navy base has moved from its current location.
