Shipping agency Marítima Dominicana SAS is one of the Caribbean region’s biggest providers of ocean transportation, warehousing and cargo handling services.

Headquartered in the Dominican Republic’s capital Santo Domingo, the company is committed to meet its customer needs by continually improving the efficiency of its freight services. Like any busy logistics provider, Marítima Dominicana faced a wide range operational challenges. These included reduction of theft from warehouses and loading bays, efficient management of trucks entering the terminal, and day-to-day-safety of visitors and staff.

The company’s previous analogue CCTV monitoring system was well past its prime, suffering from poor image quality as well as steadily rising maintenance costs.

To address these problems – and to boost overall operational efficiency – the forward-looking logistics specialist turned to Sony for an improved Video Security and surveillance solution.

Marítima Dominicana has been delighted by the switch to Sony, highlighting the network cameras’ image quality – even at night or in extreme low light – with features like XDNR and Visibility Enhancer enhancing crisp HD image quality in all conditions. The shipping operator also praises the cameras’ superior stability and reliability compared with their analogue predecessors.

Since installing the cameras, Marítima Dominicana has benefited from an immediate reduction in casual theft of property from warehouses and other areas. What’s more, capturing reliable video evidence has proved valuable in avoiding lawsuits due to accidents occurring on site.
