Cotecna is pleased to announce the signature of a 5-year, renewable contract with Empresa Portuaria Quetzal (EPQ), the entity responsible for the management and operations of Puerto Quetzal, located in Guatemala.
Cotecna will finance, install, operate and maintain one scanner with a workforce of up to thirty people. The scanner will be integrated with Coview®, Cotecna’s inspection management software which consolidates all inspection technologies deployed at local, regional or national level.
Fabrice Etienvre, Head of Government & Trade Solutions, Cotecna Inspection S.A, comments: “We look forward to working with Empresa Portuaria Quetzal. This new contract between Cotecna and EPQ in Guatemala comes at a time when countries in Central and Latin America are actively moving to share trade-related intelligence. EPQ and Guatemala are key players in this dynamic, and Puerto Quetzal represents one of the country’s most strategic ports. The technology provided by Cotecna will enable them to further position themselves at the forefront of regional modern trade monitoring and facilitation”.
