Biggest shipyard proposed for the Yucatan (Cruise Ships too)
https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/ita...gest-shipyard/"Latin America’s biggest shipyard will be built in Progreso, Yucatán, the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri announced.
The company said it signed a letter of intent on Tuesday with the Yucatán Ministry of Economic Development and Labor to participate in designing and building a new ship repair, conversions and maintenance yard in the port city located on the Gulf of Mexico about 40 kilometers north of the state capital Mérida.
“Fincantieri will be granted a 40-year concession for the exclusive management of the new yard,” the company said in a statement.
Construction of the shipyard, which will include two dry docks on a 40-hectare site, is expected to cost between US $300 million and $500 million.
Fincantieri said the shipyard will be able to handle ships up to 400 meters in length, “particularly cruise ships, large cargo and oil and gas vessels, which need complex operations.”
