APM Terminals Gets Green Light on Costa Rica Project

A.P. Moller-Maersk terminal operating unit wins court battle over $1 billion Moin Container Terminal

APM Terminals said construction of a container terminal in Costa Rica will start on schedule in 2013 after a court rejected a bid by unions to block the $1 billion project.

The Atlantic Port Authority union, representing dockworkers, and the National Banana Workers union, claimed APM Terminals, the port arm of Denmark’s A.P. Moller-Maersk, was awarded a 33-year concession for the Moin Container Terminal without the necessary economic, environmental and technical studies.
