2. Background
Guayaquil as a port
since old times.

3. Background
Became shipyard and
therefore in a port
Capitanía del Puerto de
Guayaquil was created.
Sailing ships already
arrived in this century
and later steam ships
routes from the United
States.

4. Comité Ejecutivo de Vialidad
del Guayas conducted studies
and hired to build the new
port, these studies were
conducted in the Estero
Salado.
1948-1956
Autoridad Portuaria de
Guayaquil
The port was inagurated
The port had an expansion.
1958
1963
1981

5. Nowadays the port of Guayaquil
counts with the admission of vessels
up to 9.5 meters deep.

6. Nowadays…
Ships are
increasing in their
service and in
their construction.
Subpanamax,
Panamax and
Postpanamax,
By the increase
in global fleet,
specialized ships
have increased
its size.
This
specialization,
was generated by
the economic
aspect, with a
denomination
called Worldscale
(worldwide)
• Which is given for a
reason and an
index.

7. Advantage…
These values are used to determine
the values of freight and economic
aspects of shipping.
For example: Post Panamax has a
capacity of 3,500 TEUs; have
economic advantages for its size and
have made that operating costs
decrease by more than 40%. The
number of containers carried in one
trip represent almost the same
operating costs than a small ship.

8. If Post Panamax ships has an average depth
of 17.20 meters; and if Guayaquil Port wants
to be operative by 2020 should admit vessels
up to 16.16 meters deep.
Knowing that since 2000, the Feeder and
Feedermax ships are the maximum which can
enter in Guayaquil Port.
It´s necessary to know that some of the changes in
certain America ports and expansion of Panama
Canal show how global shipping needs have been
changing and how it is essential to develop our own
place in order to stay current as strategic port in the
Pacific.

9. Need and Feasibility
• The need for the
construction of a
deep-water port
to over the
years becomes
essential for the
evolution of
ships at the
global level.
• The trend in
construction of
ships
Less than 9.5
meters is almost
null and is not
growing.
While the trend
in construction
of ships more
than 9.5 meters
is much higher
and growing
• In terms of
place, natural,
and technologic
conditions,
Posorja can
receive ships
greater than 9.5
meters.

10. Posorja´s Conditions
Posorja is within the
jurisdiction of
Autoridad Portuaria de
Guayaquil.
The Oceanographic
conditions are ideal; the
Depth of the shore is
more than 18
Meters.
The soil and the
geological conditions on
Earth,
are also ideal, for its
consistency and
absence of fillers.
It is part of the
development of the Gulf
of
Guayaquil

11. Conclusions
Construction of Deep Water
Port for the city of Guayaquil
is urgently needed because
if not done immediately the
Port of Guayaquil lose its
future operational capacity,
which would hurt the city
and the country's economic
development.
The construction of this port
will make it one of the main
ports of the South Pacific for
its strategic position on the
routes of international
maritime fleet and promote
international commerce.
The construction of the deep
water port in Posorja is feasible,
because there is an access to
the physical space and the
construction of it is viable.
The Port of Guayaquil will be
unable to receive large ships
over the next 20 years; because
the global trend of shipbuilding is
more than 10 meters deep.

12. Recommendations
It is recommended to
continue with
maintenance dredging in
the existing port of
Guayaquil for boats up to
9.5 meters can continue
to make loading and
unloading at the port.

13. Suggest as a parallel
project the
development of other
fishing piers, and
tourism around the
Ecuadorian coast to
promote industrial
fishing, sport fishing
and the development
of the same; as well as
tourism of the bay.
Suggest as a
parallel project to
the construction of
new port the
expansion of the
highway
Guayaquil -
Posorja.
