There is a big element of déjà vu in International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI’s) challenge to the award of the concession for Costa Rica’s Puerto Caldera to the Sunset Consortium, a group comprising APM Terminals, Hanseatic Global Terminals (HGT) Inversiones – a Hapag Lloyd group company and SPC, the existing operator, writes Mike Mundy

Effectively it pitches ICTSI into yet another ‘contest’ with APM Terminals for the right to operate a concession – following a battle of some magnitude in this respect in Durban, South Africa where earlier this year ICTSI emerged victorious.
