Container cargo movement at OPC grew by 4.5% in 2018 over the previous year, according to Cepal's 2018 port rankings. In 2018, ICTSI completed its USD 145 million pier 6 greenfield development for OPC - the first phase of expansion work in Puertos Cortes.

 

Across the region, container throughput in Latin America and Caribbean ports increased by 7.7% in 2018, according to the same report. Total volume in 2018 exceeded 53.2 million teu, equating to 7.1% of global throughput.
