The Costa Rican Petroleum Refinery has awarded the construction and commissioning of the new oil dock to the consortium ICA - MECO, made up of the companies Ingenieros Civiles Asociados de CV and Constructora Meco S.A. The Oil Dock at MoinTuesday, May 22, 2012 The Costa Rican Oil Refinery has given the order to start works to the consortium ICA-MECO (ICA Ingenieros Civiles Asociados de C.V-Constructora Meco S.A). A statement from the Costa Rican Oil Refinery (RECOPE) reads: Delays to Oil Dock Works in MoinTuesday, March 28, 2017 Financial problems of the Mexican company ICA, member of the consortium in charge of building the dock in Costa Rica, could be part of the reasons behind the stoppage of work on the project. The proposed construction of an oil dock for Recope was awarded to the consortium made up of MECO and the Mexican construction firm ICA, which since 2012 has been developing the works. The project is now 96% complete, and according to the president of Recope, Sara Salazar, the problem of non-payment, which may have led workers to stop construction, has now been resolved and work will resume in the coming days . Works on Oil Dock in Moín Still ParalyzedMonday, July 31, 2017 There is still no certainty as to when construction of the dock will resume, rather than being ready by the middle of this year, it will be delayed until at least January 2018. Initial plans were that Recope's oil dock, which will allow larger vessels to dock, would be ready by the middle of this year, but it is now estimated that it could be completed in early January next year, due to problems that arose during the construction process, which is being run by the consortium ICA-MECO.
