NEW PORT IN MEXICO
The government of Mexico along with local governments in Baja Sur and Ensenada have entered negotiations for the building of a mega-container port south of Ensenada on the Baja pennisula.
Various shipping companies are taking a hard look at cargo only port that would provide rail and air service to the rest of North America.
Although no plans are final, the port would produce thousands of jobs for local people and provide substantial revenue to the rest of Baja.
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach would probably not be affected in the long run due to the increased traffic into those ports. It would effect the long term expansion projects and should reduce the congestion existing in the ports now.
This is not related to the LNG port also planned north of Ensenada.
