The manufacturing sector is export-oriented. It includes world competitive businesses, particularly in fast ferry building, paper production, maritime safety systems, wood processing, automotive components, mining equipment, lightning protection, aquaculture equipment and fine food and beverages. Emerging sectors include marine engineering, communications technology and naturally derived chemicals.
Investors have access to plentiful raw materials, a reliable and skilled workforce, cheap land and excellent infrastructure. Two major industrial zones have been established at Bell Bay in the North-East and Port Latta on the North-West. Bell Bay has an adjacent deep-water port, well-developed road and rail links and proximity to a refurbished power station. Both sites are close to business centres but are surrounded by buffer areas preventing residential encroachment.
