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.
