The route is free: the Municipality of Guayaquil obtained the signature of four entities for its first PPP (Public-Private Partnership) and will make it more attractive in the eyes of international companies to dredge the access channel to the city’s ports.

The Ministries of Transport, Finance, the Secretariat of Planning and Development and the Interinstitutional Committee of PPP, Infrastructure and Transport Management approved under the modality of public-private partnership, the Dredging project of the Access Channel to the Port Terminals of Guayaquil, including dredging and maintenance. Interested companies expected this approval, which will allow them to obtain tax and other benefits.

Last year four companies showed their interest in dredging, which will allow the entry of large vessels: Construdipro, Dredging International N.V., CRBC-Shanghai Dredging Consortium and Van Oord DMC BV Associates.

With this, says the signed APP proposal, the maritime transport activities carried out in the city will achieve a higher level of competitiveness, by allowing the international traffic vessels to increase their cargo capacity, both on entry and exit. the port terminals located in Guayaquil.
