country’s leading harbour and one of the
largest in South America. The first contract

Euros) and the upgrarading of the Trujillo
sports complex in the northeastern part
of the country which is worth an additional
32.2 million Euros.
The harbour project is contemplated in
contract number 3 which is part of a very
ambitious investment plan that is to be ca-
rried out in various phases and is worth a
total of 1 billion dollars up to the year 2020.
The project will aso involve the current piers
5 and 11 which will measure 560 and 280
metres, respectively, in length.
Pier 5 handles containers and mineral car-
goes and pier 11 will provide port servi-
ces for the import of farm products, being
equipped with cement-built silos with a to-
tal storage capacity of 25,000 tonnes.
FCC has 23 months to complete the work
on this phase of the port, which handles
more than 1.9 million containers annually.
The client, APM Terminals, a Maersk Group
company, is the world’s fourth-largest port
operator.
The harbour project contemplates the up-
grading and revamping of infrastructure
and equipment to adapt to current cargo
transport demand as well as ship sizes and
draughts. The company will also outfit the
port with better equipment to be able to
handle different types of cargo.
