APM Terminals México , the specialized container terminal unit of A.P. Moller-Maersk , signed a memorandum of understanding with the General Coordination of Ports and Merchant Marine (CGPMM) , to support the professional development of students from the Merchant Nautical Schools of Tampico, Veracruz and Mazatlán of the Maritime Port University of Mexico .
The Dutch company, led in Mexico by Beatriz Yera, will establish an internship program so that students can apply their knowledge in real-world work environments and in a highly technological terminal such as the specialized terminal at the Port of Lázaro Cárdenas.
From 2021 to 2023 alone, almost 800 students have graduated from the three Merchant Nautical Schools of the Navy Secretariat .
“This is an example of the joint effort between the public and private sectors with the vision of strengthening the Mexican maritime sector and consolidating the country as a benchmark in port logistics with highly qualified personnel,” APM Terminals Mexico said in a statement.
APM Terminals’ Lázaro Cárdenas terminal took a momentous step in global maritime trade with the inauguration of Operation Gemini Cooperation in March of this year, featuring an innovative Simultaneous Transshipment Connection never before seen in the world.
This innovative double-handling model represents a milestone in port logistics, enabling the transfer of containers between vessels , optimizing time, costs, and operational efficiency.
APM Terminals is in the process of the second phase of expansion of its terminal in Lázaro Cárdenas.
This project, which began in September 2023 with an investment of more than $150 million, seeks to increase operational capacity and improve infrastructure with new cranes and specialized equipment.
