The Port international de Port-au-Prince (UN/LOCODE: HTPAP) is the seaport of the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. It suffered catastrophic damage in the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and reconstruction was completed in 2016. The port represents 80-90% of Port-au-Prince's container traffic, and has been described as "the jugular vein of the economy of Haiti." Since the beginning of the gang war in Haiti, the port has repeatedly been closed due to gang incursions.
Some of docks and warehouses are operated by the government's Autorité Portuaire Nationale (APN), and some are run by private companies.
