MANZANILLO, COL.- The efficiency of a commercial port as a whole is built based on the strength and coordination between all the links that make it up. Maritime terminals play a more than essential, even leading, role in this operational dynamic, in which a minimum detail can be the difference between winning or losing, speaking in terms of market competitiveness.
In the 25 years in which Hutchison Ports TIMSA has operated in the port of Manzanillo, it has not lost sight of this compass. Its strategy has been based on constant process innovation, but also on the development of specialized human capital that is immersed every day in the movement of goods, as well as in customer service.
The history of this multipurpose terminal goes hand in hand with the investment commitment that Hutchison Ports , with headquarters in Hong Kong, has developed in Mexico since the 90s of the last century.
The entry into force of the modern Ports Law in 1993 triggered the participation of private capital in ports. Based on this, this business group, with a broad presence in ports on the five continents, took advantage of the opportunity to install a series of maritime terminals in Mexican ports.
Veracruz and Ensenada were his first precision darts.
Then, at the end of the millennium, came the bidding for spaces in the Colima port by the federal authority and which, in the end, would become the main maritime hub (connection center) on the Mexican Pacific coast for the handling of different types of merchandise, mainly containerized merchandise. Jorge M. Lecona, leader of the company in the country and Latin America , as well as his management team did not hesitate to present a project with which they would finally win the concession for the multi-use terminal.
