Looks like Esmereldas getting a revamp
“ Ecuador's first package of projects in is registry of PPPs includes an initiative to revamp Esmeraldas port in the northwest of the country.
The initiative, the reference investment for which is US$107mn, with opex estimated at US$141mn is considered of strategic importance for the country, not only for international competitiveness but also considering that several significant mining projects in the north are expected to go into production over the next decade, including the Cascabel copper and gold project.
These mines will require efficient, modern and safe port facilities to ship the concentrates they produce and help optimize their costs.
Esmeraldas is Ecuador's closest port to the Panama Canal. It is located in Esmeraldas province, which borders Colombia to the north.”
