ICTSI’s Ecuadorian business unit achieves 135 million tons of cargo milestone

Contecon Guayaquil (CGSA), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) Ecuadorian business unit operating the Libertador Simon Bolivar Container and Multipurpose Terminal, celebrates the achievement of handling 135 million tons of cargo since starting operations at the Port of Guayaquil.

According to the global port operator, the achievement is a testament to the Port of Guayaquil’s position as Ecuador’s main seaport and to CGSA’s commitment to operational efficiency, innovation, safety and sustainability.

Additionally, CGSA is optimistic about 2023 and said it is on pace to move more than 900,000 TEUs before the end of the year, which will be an increase of more than 5% compared to 2022.

Moreover, CGSA is currently the only terminal in Ecuador capable of handling three neo-Panamax ships simultaneously alongside, thanks to its 1,300-meter quay.

Recent dredging works have increased the depth of the pier to 13.5 meters.

Other recent developments at CGSA include the installation of scanners to enhance security, the implementation of private LTE network technology to support digital transformation, and the launch of the Port-to-Door platform.
