  APM Terminals and ICA Consortium Sign Agreement for a New Terminal in Lázaro Cárdenas Port

·        ICA Civil Construction awarded the Ps.1,203 million and US$79 million contract to build Phase I of the new terminal

Mexico City, August 1, 2012—Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV and NYSE: ICA), the largest engineering, construction, procurement and infrastructure company in Mexico, announced today that a consortium of which it is part has signed the agreement for the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the new “TEC II” container terminal in the Lázaro Cárdenas port, on Mexico’s Pacific coast. The assignment of rights agreement for 30 years was awarded through an international bidding process by Administración Portuaria Integral de Lázaro Cárdenas (APILAC).

The assignee is a consortium composed by ICA Infraestructura (ICAi) with 5% and APM Terminals, a part of the Danish group AP Moller-Maersk, with 95%. The investment and construction of the terminal will take place in three separate stages. The consortium estimates a total investment for all three stages for approximately US$900 million. Phase I is expected to be completed in 2015 and will require an investment of approximately US$300 million.

ICA Civil Construction will carry out 100% of the civil construction works for the first stage through a construction contract of Ps.1,203 million and US$79 million, and included in backlog as of the third quarter of 2012. Phase I construction works include dredging the channel to build a 650 meter quay with two berths that can service Post Panamax vessels, a 43 hectare container yard, modern on-dock rail facilities, a water treatment plant, and offices, among other facilities.

The TEC II terminal will undergo staged expansion in accordance with provisions in the assignment of rights agreement and commercial market demands. Once construction of Phases II and III are completed, the terminal will have a total area of 102 hectares, with 1,485 meters of quay, 4 berths, and water depth in the channel and alongside of 16.5 meters.

Alonso Quintana, ICA’s CEO noted, “Partnering with a world-class operator like APM Terminals in the Lázaro Cardenas port project will generate value for our two main business divisions: immediate value through the execution of the construction project; and long-term incremental value through our equity participation in the consortium. This project marks another milestone for our infrastructure concessions project portfolio, which spans airports, highways, water, social infrastructure, and now seaports.”
