Overview
- Federal authorities formally delivered the Punta Colonet concession to the Baja California government, with public backing from President Claudia Sheinbaum and the Mexican Navy.
- The plan outlines a high‑capacity terminal with a 17.5‑meter draft, automation and logistics intelligence, plus an industrial and services zone across 2,769 hectares including an 83‑hectare port precinct.
- Construction is scheduled in three phases from 2026 to 2035, and officials have not reported the start of physical works.
