The expanded berth will be also dredged up to 14m deep and equipped with two super post-Panamax quay cranes, increasing the number of OPC cranes in the port to six.

The proposed terminal expansion is expected to help Puerto Cortes improve its presence in the Caribbean region, as is scheduled to be completed by the middle of next year.

"A new 350m-long berth with a depth of 15.5m, as well as two trestles, will be built under the deal."

The port currently handles 85% of shipments to Honduras, 10% to El Salvador and 5% to Nicaragua.

In 2013, ICTSI secured a 30-year concession to design, finance, build, maintain, operate and explore the specialised container and cargo terminal in Honduras.
