PORT terminals and operators in Manzanillo have united to create the Association of Terminals and Operators of Manzanillo (ASTOM), a pioneer organization that aims to promote and further strengthen the Port of Manzanillo.
ASTOM will enhance the competitiveness and efficiency of Mexico's most important port through improved connectivity, process optimization and innovation, all guided by the principles of social and environmental responsibility, according to a statement.
ASTOM members are Contecon Manzanillo S A (CMSA), International Container Terminal Services, Inc's (ICTSI) Mexican subsidiary, comprises the alliance together with Grupo Carrix - SSA, Ocupa, and Friman; Hazesa, Corporacion Multimodal and TAP Terminals. CMSA will lead ASTOM for the next couple of years through Jose Antonio Contreras, CMSA chief executive officer and ASTOM president.
"Customers and users have given us their trust, and it's our responsibility as an association to seek the constant development of the Port of Manzanillo, and with this, continue helping and accompanying Mexican foreign trade and its growth," said Mr Contreras.
"We must continue to improve and grow, which is why the second northern access to the port is being built, and why we are expanding the capacity of the Specialized Container Terminal II by 40 per cent, among other investments. All the associates whom I have the honour to represent have a clear and common objective - to be and continue to be the preferred port of Mexico. For this, we will put all our effort, knowledge and professionalism."
The Honourable Indira Vizcaino Silva, Colima governor stressed that the state would work together with ASTOM to promote an important social agenda to achieve a more competitive, fairer and sustainable economy.
As Mexico's main logistics hub, the Port of Manzanillo handles 40 per cent of the containers that enter and exit the country, and 70 per cent of import cargo that arrive on the Pacific coast. More than 90 per cent of the activity at the port is facilitated by members of ASTOM.
