El Salvador to tender La Union port this week

Salvadoran authorities are set to tender the concession of La Unión port on Thursday this week.

The port's operator, CEPA, has pre-qualified four companies for the project: Chile's Saam Puertos, Spain's Group Maritime TCB, Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services and France's Bolloré Port and Logistics.

The Salvadoran government aims to make La Unión a development hotspot, as currently the region has the highest level of unemployment in the country.
