Chilean logistics firm SAAM aims to invest some US$23mn in a multi-use public terminal at Mexico’s Mazatlán port in west coast state Sinaloa, CEO Alejandro García-Huidobro told BNamericas.
SAAM looks the likely winner of the Mazatlán port concession, after presenting the best offer for the project earlier this month.
Other bidders were Operadora de la Cuenca del Pacífico; a group comprised of Oceanografía and Infraestructura Mexicana; Integradora de Servicios y Transporte de Altamira; Portek International and TMM Logistics.
The planned concession is for 20 years, with the possibility of extending it for an additional 13 years, García-Huidobro said.
The concession involves operating a 16.6ha area, with the option to expand by 2.8ha, as well a 1.3km berthing area.
Port authority API Mazatlán, controlled by the transport and communications ministry (SCT), is due to award the tender on December 12.
