- The federal government delivered the concession title to the Baja California administration, with the Navy committing participation to provide security and certainty.
- Plans detail a deep-water, automated terminal with a 17.5-meter draft and an industrial and services zone designed to handle diverse cargo.
- Construction is scheduled in three stages from 2026 to 2035 across 2,769 hectares, including an 83-hectare port precinct.
- Located about 240 kilometers from the U.S. border, the site is positioned as a new Pacific gateway intended to ease Los Angeles–Long Beach congestion and connect to the North American market.
