During its 16^th year of operation, Contecon Guayaquil S.A. (CGSA), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) Ecuadorian business unit operating the Libertador Simon Bolivar Container and Multipurpose Terminal, celebrates an achievement of handling 135 million tons of cargo handled since starting operations at the Port of Guayaquil.

The achievement is a testament not only to the Port of Guayaquil’s position as Ecuador’s main seaport, but also to CGSA’s commitment to operational efficiency, innovation, safety and sustainability – values that serve as the foundation of CGSA’s identity and role as a growth driver for Ecuador’s foreign trade.

“With more than USD$360 million invested since the beginning of our operation, we have created a world-class terminal with vast infrastructure, technology and equipment, contributing to the economic development of the country and the generation of jobs. More than a port, we are the strategic partner that makes Ecuador go further,” stated Javier Lancha, CGSA chief executive officer.
