Construction on the US$300m first phase will start next month (September) and is scheduled to be completed in 2015. APMT has signed a design build contract with one of Mexico’s major contractors, Empresas ICA, which is also a minority shareholder in the concessionaire company.
The initial phase will see the development of a new 43 ha container yard and a 650 metre quay. Additional works will include an administration building, warehouse, gates, and modern on-dock rail facilities to accommodate the growing volumes of intermodal traffic.
The container handling equipment under consideration is eco-friendly, featuring the latest developments in energy efficiency to reduce emissions. This includes seven Super-Postâ€Panamax shipâ€toâ€shore gantry cranes with a reach of 23 container, as well as electrical yard cranes (E-RTGs) and other specialised equipment.
