Venezuela to build new $520m container terminal in Carabobo

10/10/2011 10:54:58 AM

Venezuelan state company Bolivarian Ports (Bolipuertos) and the China Harbor Engineering Company (CHEC) have signed an agreement to build a container terminal in Venezuela's main port of Puerto Cabello in the northern state of Carabobo.

 

"This terminal will double the capacity we have and will be connected with the railway network we are developing. This terminal undoubtedly will allow shipping out and bringing in merchandise to and from the Caribbean Sea and the rest of the world," said Venezuela's Transportation and Communications Minister Francisco Garces.

 

The new terminal will extend the cargo loading and storage area by 38 ha, and add a space for the docking of two more container ships with a capacity of 70,000 tons and six mechanical arms for loading and unloading merchandise.

 

Garces said the construction of the terminal in Carabobo, which is located about 200 km northwest of Caracas, is scheduled to begin in 2012. The new terminal should be fully operating in 2014.
