The US Government has donated three Boston Whaler powerboats to the Dominican Navy, for a total of seven donated since 2007. The Commander of the US Southern Command, General Douglas Fraser, made the announcement during a visit to the DR this week. He expressed hope that the speedboats would increase the capacity of the country's security forces and the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) for intercepting illegal drug trafficking at sea, as reported in El Caribe.

Navy Chief, Vice Admiral Nicolas Cabrera Arias received the donation during a ceremony yesterday, as reported in Listin Diario.
