In Havana, a Chinese-built floating dock has been a game-changer for Cuba's maritime industry. For over a year, this modern platform has been repairing boats of various sizes, supporting not just local fishermen but also vessels across the greater Caribbean region. This initiative, part of the Belt-and-Road cooperation between China and Cuba, has injected vitality into the local economy, creating jobs and fostering regional trade.
Entrepreneurs and businesses in the maritime sector have seen new opportunities, while young professionals gain skills in advanced boat maintenance. The floating dock also facilitates the repair of commercial vessels, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of maritime operations in the area.
As Cuba strengthens its maritime infrastructure, the floating dock stands as a symbol of international collaboration and economic growth in the Caribbean. The positive impact on the local economy highlights the benefits of such cooperative projects, paving the way for future initiatives that support sustainable development and regional prosperity.
