| Work Detail |
The works will be financed by the provincial government and will value that area of ??the Port of the capital of Santa Fe.
The Administrative Body of the Port of Santa Fe (EAPSF) opened the envelopes corresponding to three public tenders to carry out infrastructure works in the port of the provincial capital.
The tendered works will be concretized with funds from the provincial government, through an agreement signed last June, and correspond to the setting up and reconstruction of the slope in the Container and General Cargo Terminal, and the setting up of the Multipurpose Terminal .
During the event, carried out at the administrative headquarters of EAPSF, the president of the Entity, Sebastián Simez, explained that the works “are necessary to move from a small container terminal, to a functional one with the possibility of projection. It is necessary to think that during five years the terminal was not used and the growth of the international market does that today it is not profitable nor allows certain operations ”.
Likewise, he stressed that the investment of the government of the province in the works, "ranging from improving the existing infrastructure to making extensions and innovating in technology and making the Terminal functional, will allow us to think of a port from here to 10 years."
Finally, he estimated that the work will begin in October and that "the expectation is that once started, they will not take more than six months." At the same time, he indicated that “the awards are carried out by the technical team of the Port and approved by the board of directors».
