He said the Association would never oppose projects that seek increased security and transparency at the ports, such as the installation of x-ray digital imaging equipment, but does object an agreement to control a monopoly. “Safety is the top component for our entire ports logistics chain.”
Heinsen spoke during the association’s monthly luncheon, with business leader and EDUCA president Elena Viyella de Paliza as guest speaker.
