LOGISTICS CLUSTER
HAITI SITUATION REPORT
Date: 22/1/2010
1 Logistics Cluster meetings
• In addition to regular Logistics Cluster meetings in Port-au-Prince, a separate meeting will be held on
Saturday 23 January at 09:30 for all organisations in Haiti working outside of Port-au-Prince.
• For times and locations of Logistics Cluster meetings in Port-au-Prince and Santo Domingo please
contact Logistics Cluster teams.
2 Civil Military Coordination
• There is ongoing daily coordination between the Logistics Cluster, USAID/OFDA, the US Military and
the Canadian Military for the use of assets to deliver humanitarian cargo.
• All tasking for the use of these assets is done through the Logistics Cluster, which assesses the best
means of transport using military or interagency assets and makes the necessary arrangements.
• Yesterday US heavy-lift helicopters delivered 10 tons of high-volume NFI to Jacmel for Diakoni.
• Common coordination offices will be set up, including the Logistics Cluster and representatives of the
US Military and MINUSTAH.
3 Air Operations
Port au Prince Toussaint L’Ouverture International Airport
• There are 30-50 flights per day entering PAP with international humanitarian cargo.
• The flow of aircraft is not expected to slow in the near future. Flights should be diverted to Santo
Domingo if the cargo is not carrying life-saving items required within two or three days.
• The Logistics Cluster can arrange entry to the Log Base at the airport for organisations planning to visit
the humanitarian cargo village, if informed in advance.
Santo Domingo Las Americas International Airport
• Las Americas airport in Santo Domingo is also starting to experience congestion problems. Additional
slots are being opened to operate from 22h00 to 07h00.
UNHAS
• UNHAS has a presence at Port-au-Prince airport, currently at the DHL office, and can give on-site
assistance.
• Passenger service SDQ-PAP: Two passenger flights a day managed by UNHAS are taking place – from
now on these will depart from La Isabela International Airport in Santo Domingo. A second aircraft
will soon be added to increase capacity.
• Flights from Santo Domingo are booked through submission of a Passenger Request Form to
unhaspax.haiti@wfp.org Forms can be downloaded from:

Passenger service PAP-SDQ: For now, passenger flights from Port-au-Prince to Santo Domingo are
booked by UNHAS in person at the MINUSTAH Log Base.
Cargo service: Helicopter deliveries to specific locations in Haiti can be accommodated. Details should
be given to the Logistics Cluster 24 hours prior to the flight, 48 hours in the case of new locations
requiring an assessment flight (unlikely to be necessary for UNHAS but probably required for US heavylift
aircraft). However possible delivery locations in within PAP are limited. Cargo Movement Requests
(and all enquiries regarding cargo movement should be sent to haiti.cargo@logcluster.org
• Organisations with a mandate not to use military assets can inform the Logistics Cluster and only
inter-agency assets will be tasked.
4 Surface Transport
• Standard Operating Procedures are being prepared and will be disseminated.
• Cargo Movement Request (CMR) forms are available at http://www.logcluster.org/ops/hti10a
• Completed CMRs should be sent to haiti.cargo@logcluster.org
5 Sea Transport
• US navy and army divers will start port repairs at the Port-au-Prince sea port on 22 Jan. For now only
the south pier is open and capacity is very limited.
• Containerized goods arriving by sea in Santo Domingo can either be de-stuffed and consolidated or
brought in directly in containers. If goods are booked directly through to Port-au-Prince shipping lines
will respond accordingly.
6 Warehousing
• The Logistics Cluster is increasing interagency storage capacity in Port-au-Prince, as well as bringing in
equipment and increasing personnel at the existing site.
• Atlas/Handicap International is considering establishing interagency storage in Petit Goave, in
coordination with the Logistics Cluster.
• TSR (Temporary Storage Request) forms are available at http://www.logcluster.org/ops/hti10a
7 Dominican Republic
• The Logistics Cluster Cell in Santo Domingo is fully activated and able to receive cargo at the airport,
store it and transport it to Port-au-Prince. The Logistics Cluster Cell also coordinates convoys with
MINUSTAH for escorts from Jimani border to Port-au-Prince.
• The primary focal point for these operations is the Logistics Cluster cell in Santo Domingo – contact
logcluster.sdq@wfp.org
• All organisations planning to ship cargo to Haiti through the Dominican Republic should maintain a
staff presence in the Dominican Republic if they are planning medium to large scale operations in Haiti.

8 Fuel
• As an emergency measure, the Logistics Cluster can supply some fuel to organisations who have not
yet made their own arrangements. A system for the Cluster to facilitate access to fuel will be
established in the near future.
9 Pipeline
• All organizations operating in the Haiti Earthquake response have been asked to provide their pipeline
information to the Logistics Cluster so an overview of assistance can be made available to the
humanitarian community, the government and donors. This should be forwarded to
