2. PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The project is strategically positioned as a solution to lower
transportation cost of goods to the Atlantic coast from inside the
country, allowing the approach of all types of businesses to export
their products to the world. The project consists of a free tax zone
for production processing and transforming raw materials into final
products, as well as oil port, coal and multimodal ports, is intended
to be sold both within the country and abroad
3. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
1 - Oil Companies like Pacific Rubiales have the need to transport up to 8 million
tons of crude oil per year. Coal mines operators of Boyacá and Cundinamarca ,
require a low cost transportation to the Atlantic coast. (year 2012- 3 millions
tons, year 2017- 10 millions tons and by the year 2032-30 millions tons).
2 – Import raw materials from Asia (low-cost) to enter the country through
Buenaventura port, without going through the Panama Canal. Placing the raw
materials in to the tax free zone and producing high quality final products at low
cost. The final products will be transport thru the Magdalena River, to the
selected port on the Atlantic coast, to be export anywhere in the world.
3 - The project becomes a focus point of export and import of raw materials and
final products for domestic and foreign factories, lowering production and
transportation costs, improving market competitiveness worldwide.
4. STRATEGIC LOCATION
The port is strategically placed in the country, for raw material
manufacturing. It is surrounded by four major cities. It becomes the
main collection center of the country for imports & exports.
With 2 miles of frontage road on the Ruta del Sol (highway), this will
decrease about 40 or 50% the ground transportation time, from the
port to Cundinamarca state. The Central Railway system is located
200 meters from the port. The port offers 1.0 mile of water front in
the Magdalena River.
Comparative Costs Ton / Km in USD
- Ground transportation 12 to 14 cents
- Rail road system 3 to 4 cents
- Fluvial 1 cent
