Manila's ICTSI Mexican terminal surpasses all its productivity targets
SINCE the opening of the second container terminal (SCT-2) in the Port of Manzanillo in Colima, Mexico a year ago, volumes have doubled after the new terminal raised port productivity 100 per cent.
Speaking at the first anniversary celebration, managing director Enrique Gutierrez of Contecon Manzanillo, SA (CMSA), the developer and operator of SCT-2, said he expected volumes to continue on the upward trend.
He said in a company statement that the new terminal has even surpassed productivity targets.
"A year after the first vessel arrived at our terminal, we can guarantee that CMSA is effectively fulfilling a commitment to strengthening Manzanillo's positioning as the country's leading port, and consolidating it as the main gateway for Mexico's foreign trade," said Mr Gutierrez.
SCT-2 is equipped with four super postpanamax quay cranes, and CMSA's operations use the Navis4 system, software that supports fully automated operations and processes.
Total investment considered to develop the terminal in three phases over 12 years would amount to MXN7 billion (US$512.6 million). The first phase has been completed with an investment of MXN3 billion.
