Contecon Guayaquil S.A. (CGSA) has forged a partnership with COSCO Shipping Specialized Carriers.
The Ecuadorian unit of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) will handle COSCO’s general cargo ships at the Port of Guayaquil for the next three years.
The partnership is in line with CGSA’s objectives to expand its client base, set the regional standard for service, and consolidate the Port of Guayaquil’s position as Ecuador’s main logistics hub, ICTSI said in a statement.
CGSA has handled six COSCO vessels since the beginning of the year and anticipates at least one vessel per month moving forward.
“Our commitment to innovation, outstanding customer service, and sustainable development in the port sector is stronger than ever. Moreover, our handling of project cargo plays a crucial role in supporting major investment projects across the country, significantly boosting economic growth and advancing regional port infrastructure,” said Javier Lancha, CGSA chief executive officer.
