APM Terminals Moín launches modernisation initiative

APM Terminals Moín in Costa Rica has announced a modernisation project focused on streamlining access to the terminal.

The initiative, which began in April 2025, is taking place during the country’s low import and export season to minimise trade disruption.



The project includes the redevelopment of the terminal’s main access point, with improvements aimed at increasing speed and control in land-side operations.

The upgrades include:

  • Construction of new control booths
  • Installation of traffic management systems, sensors and biometric validation tools
  • Implementation of secondary inspection lanes using advanced screening technology
  • Development of a new return lane to facilitate smooth reentry to National Route 257

These improvements will replace the current system, which relies on a fixed verification station for container appointments and driver documentation. By integrating automation and real-time validation tools, the Latin American terminal can improve throughput while maintaining safety for personnel and cargo.

It is important to note that during last year and this year, the terminal has introduced:

  • Digitalisation of access and container data, reducing administrative bottlenecks and increasing reliability
  • Electrification of Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes
  • Smart STS OCR technology
  • Twistlock control upgrades for safer and more efficient container handling
  • Non-intrusive scanning technology, available to customs authorities to improve inspection without delaying cargo
  • Strengthening LTE network coverage
  • Network infrastructure migration and device upgrades
  • Pregate construction, easing traffic flow and reducing congestion at the terminal’s entrance
  • Truck alignment systems under cranes, for faster and more precise container transfers

“This project marks a critical step forward in our modernisation journey,” highlighted José Rueda, Managing Director of APM Terminals Moín. “By upgrading our infrastructure and integrating smart technologies, we are increasing our responsiveness, improving safety and delivering a better experience for customers and transport operators.”
