APMT at risk of losing Callao concession

Peru’s Public Use Transport Infrastructure Investment Supervisory Body (Ositran) is reportedly not happy with work completed so far by APM Terminals at the North Quay in the port of Callao Ositrán has said that cracks have been noted in some of the completed infrastructure works, while not all the equipment that is in place tallies with what was originally promised and that includes used equipment. APM Terminals has until October 11 to come to an agreement with the Economy and Finance Ministry over the suitability of the work or risk seeing its concession revoked. Anders Kjeldsen, APM Terminals Callao president, said that the work under discussion represents less than 1% of the overall budget. Furthermore, he suggested that such discrepancies are quite normal in such projects, although Ositrán so far remains unconvinced. As a result, APM Terminals has begun dealing directly with the Ministry to resolve the situation. In a statement given to Port Strategy, an APM terminals spokesperson said: “We are confident that any outstanding issues regarding the project completion progress and schedule will be successfully addressed and resolved." The operator went on to say that the company continues to build a positive relationship with the government of Peru. Source: portstrategy
