Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic — Maritime conditions have shown significant improvement along the nation’s Caribbean coastline, prompting authorities to revise navigational advisories this Saturday. The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet), through its latest weather bulletin, confirmed that previously hazardous sea conditions have substantially normalized.
The Emergency Operations Center (COE), acting upon Indomet’s meteorological assessment, officially discontinued the port restriction mandate for fragile, small, and medium-sized vessels operating along the North coast. This decision was formally executed under the legal framework established in Article 2, Chapter 1 of Law 147-02, which governs emergency maritime protocols.
While conditions have stabilized for most regions, the COE issued specific precautions for vessel operators navigating the Atlantic coastal stretch between Miches (El Seibo) and Cabo Engaño (La Altagracia). Meteorological monitoring indicates persistent abnormal wind patterns and wave activity in this sector, requiring heightened navigational vigilance.
The national meteorological service confirms that all remaining coastal areas currently experience normal maritime conditions, providing relief to the maritime industry and coastal communities following recent weather disturbances.
