US carrier Seaboard Marine resumed vessel calls to Haiti yesterday when the ro-ro vessel Seaboard Sun docked at Lafiteau, 10 miles from Port-au-Prince, which was struck by a massive earthquake on 12 January.

Seaboard Sun initially utilised a specialised ramp to discharge humanitarian goods and infrastructure relief cargo for major international relief entities and US government agencies.

The cargo was then moved to support infrastructure at the Maritime Logistics of Haiti container terminal near the port of Port-au-Prince, which suffered minimal damage and re-opened last Friday.

??In order to maximise its vessel calls into Lafiteau, the ship will shuttle back and forth between Kingston, Jamaica and Lafiteau,?? said a company statement.
