Costa Rica's government has launched a tender to design, build and operate a new container terminal at the Limón-Moín port complex in Limón province, Business News Americas reported.
The new terminal will handle cargo that previously went through the Limón port, which will stop receiving cargo in 2015 and be converted into a tourist port.
The new terminal, budgeted at US$560mn, would have a capacity to move one million TEUs in a first phase, while a second phase, costing $250mn, would further expand capacity.
The tender process for the terminal first began in April, but was delayed while the comptroller general and CNC amended the bidding rules.
Modifications to the bidding rules are scheduled to be published in the country's official gazette on November 4.
Interested parties should submit offers on January 15.
