Who operates Puerto Barrios and what is the terminal's capacity?

The main operation at Puerto Barrios is run by COBIGUA (Compañía Bananera Guatemalteca Independiente, linked to Chiquita), specialized in agricultural exports: bananas, melon and pineapple. According to a commercial profile (UNIS Co.): 1 container terminal, 4 berths, maximum draft 9.5 m, annual capacity of ~525,000 TEU with an expansion plan to 630,000 TEU, mobile cranes and 1,100 reefer plugs. Chiquita inaugurated a US$30 million expansion at the Puerto Barrios Rail Terminal (year not confirmed) and COBIGUA announced an investment of Q300 million (a historic Prensa Libre item, year not confirmed). The terminal's first concession, a usufruct with Ferrovías, reached expiry according to Prensa Libre; the current contractual position must be verified. The 20% share of vessels berthed in 2024 does not appear in the source to which it was attributed.
