The フランス語:Port international de Port-au-Prince (UN/LOCODE: HTPAP〔World Port Source, ("Port of Port-au-Prince" ) (accessed 25 January 2010)〕) is the seaport in the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. It suffered catastrophic damage in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Some of docks and warehouses are operated by the government's ''Autorite Portuaire Nationale'' (APN), and some are run by private companies. == History == On 13 June 1872, a German fleet composed of SMS ''Vineta'' and SMS ''Gazelle'' seized Haitian Navy ships ''Union'' and ''Mont Organisé'' which were anchored in the port, as a means of pressure to have the Haitian government pay a 20,000 thaler debt to a German businessman. In 1906, a Haitian-American company gained a 50-year concession to manage and operate the port. In 1956, at the end of this term, the フランス語:Administration Portuaire de Port-au-Prince ((英語:Port Administration of Port-au-Prince)) was created, supervised by the Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH). In 1973, The Port Administration became an autonomous body with the power to operate other ports; and in 1978, it was renamed the (フランス語:Autorite Portuaire Nationale) ((英語:National Port Authority)) under Haiti's secretariat of economic affairs. The APN was given control of all of Haiti's other ports as well in 1985.〔 On October 11, 1993, USS ''Harlan County'', carrying 200 American and Canadian troops in implementation of the Governors Island Accord, attempted to enter the port, but was met by angry crowds, denied access to the dock, and ordered to leave Haiti the next day. On October 13, the United Nations re-imposed an oil and arms embargo. In 1999, this port was believed to be "the most expensive port at which to dock and unload in the Americas", causing ships to unload in the neighbouring Dominican Republic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Port international de Port-au-Prince」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
