Mexico unveils plan for mega port

The Mexican government has unveiled plans for its Punta Colonet Mega Port Project. According to media reports, the Punta Colonet project will be located in Baja California, 130 kilometers (km) from Ensenada, and 240km from Tijuana.
Approximately $2 billion will be invested from both public and private sources for the development of the project.
The port will occupy a space of more than five thousand acres with a mid-term capacity of 8 metric tonnes (mt) per year.
Juan Molinar, Mexico's Secretary of Communications and Transport official told reporters that Punta Colonet will take advantage of the trans-Pacific trade, a free trade agreement between countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
The mega-port will see the developments of large infrastructure works, including the building of rail lines to handle containers.
