Last time we were in Montevideo, the works of the new container terminal (the biggest of South America) ongoing. This week, Katoen Natie, the Belgian value-added logistic operator opened its new 190 million USD container terminal in Montevideo. Katoen Natie is much more active in Latin America than it is in Asia, it has more than 30 operations in Brazil.
Meanwhile, the family Huts of Katoen Natie is also active as a project developer in Uruguay, building a complete town: Jacksonville, in the Zonamerica. They bought the Alesianen convent with 560 hectares and are making alotments in that zone with schools, hospitals, a Regency hotel,…
Meanwhile in Rio de Janeiro, Eike Batista, Brazil’s richest man is building Porto Açu, a complete new harbor and container terminal.
