About La Romana cruise terminal
La Romana has a cruise terminal used for port calls and some homeport sailings, and the port also ships sugar.
Who orders beef in La Romana
Cruise ships on Caribbean itineraries order Choice and Prime cuts for the dining rooms and crew-mess beef for the crew. Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Ship chandlers in La Romana can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
We ship US beef to Caribbean ports in reefer containers on the regular services from Florida and the Gulf Coast, then deliver through local partner chandlers. Each island sets its own import rules. We ship with the USDA export certificate the destination requires. Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint-Martin follow EU rules, so only EU-eligible beef from non-hormone-treated cattle can go there.
For La Romana, we ship in reefer containers ahead of the vessel's call. Our partner chandler delivers to the berth, or by launch to ships at anchor, with the temperature record for the whole trip.
