Shipowners and Shipping Companies Defend Port Concession.

Noting that the port services provided in Costa Rica are currently inefficient, an appeal has been filed in favour of granting the concession for the new container terminal in Moin.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Following complaints presented by the National Chamber of Banana Workers and the Union of Workers from Japdeva, the National Chamber of steamship owners and Agents (NAVE in spanish) has filed with the Administrative Court a request help in favor of the defendants.

"Antonio Souto Perez, president of NAVE, argued that "the quality of port services in Costa Rica, especially referring to the Caribbean and Atlantic Coast ports of Moin and Limon, are considered inefficient, to highlight a few specifics: incomplete service provision, weaknesses in infrastructure, increased waiting times that result in saturation in the port and notable problems in terms of freight costs'", reported Elfinancierocr.com
