The formal approval of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is a major milestone in the development of the new Terminal de Contenedores de Mo\u00edn (TCM) project, for which a 330-year concession for the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the facility was signed in 2012.<\/p>\n
The first phase of development, originally scheduled for completion in 2016, will see the access channel and turning-basin to be dredged to 16m, a new 1.5km breakwater to be built with a 40 hectare container yard, 600m of quay and two berths equipped with six port-Panama cranes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAPM terminals is well aware of Costa Rica\u2019s dedication to environmental protection, and consistent with our own corporate sustainability standards, we have complied with, or exceeded all environmental requirements, mindful of the local community in Limon and the people of Costa Rica,\u201d said Captain Paul J Gallie, managing director, APM Terminals.<\/p>\n
Upon the completion of the first phase, the TCM will have an area of 80 hectares, with 1,500m of quay, five berths, a 2.2km breakwater and an access channel 18m deep, serving as a shipping hub for the Caribbean and Central America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
