They will be paying Q2 billion for the land
The landholders of the plots in several departments in the country, where the Inter oceanic Corridor will pass will receive Q2 billion at the end of the year for purchasing their lands, the plots are 372 kilometers long and 140 wide.
The properties to be acquired are 3,533 properties by Holding Corredor Interoceánico de Guatemala. The project
construction will begin in May 2014, after having been declared of public benefit and national interest by the Executive through Governmental Agreement 270-2013, published yesterday in the official daily.
The first phase of the project will be made in 3 years, it will have two ports, a railroad for the transfer of containers from one ocean to the other, a pipeline for the transportation of hydrocarbons and its derivatives, electrical energy transportation services and telecommunications.
Guillermo Catalán España, President of the Directors of the Inter Oceanic Corridor, stated that they hope that in April 2014 this study will be concluded, so that the cornerstone of the $8 billion construction can be placed in May.
The project puts together capital from Norway, Finland, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Spain, reported Gustavo Martínez, General Secretary of the Presidency.
The length of the project will cover 46 municipalities in Izabal, Chiquimula, Jutiapa and Santa Rosa. This corridor hopes to increase the world trade that connects via water through the Panama Canal by 37%.
( By: SIGLO 21, Rudy Tejeda , 18/07/2013 )
State prioritizes the Inter Oceanic Corridor
The Government declared the process, promotion, construction and operation of the Inter Oceanic corridor of Guatemala of “public benefit” and “national interest”, considering that this project will give the country a strategic advantage before global trade.
“The project will attract foreign investment, generate direct employment and greater income for the State, from taxes, as well as
improving the quality of life and the development of all Guatemalans”, declares the agreement, presented last night at the Palacio Nacional de la Cultura, before many businessmen and officials.
The President of the Board of Directors of the Inter Oceanic Corridor, Guillermo Catalán, stated that in four or five months they will begin developing the studies to establish the value of the infrastructure that has been calculated to be at US$7 billion and US$8 billion — around Q54.9 billion and Q62.8 billion-.
“With this declaration of public benefit and national interest, we consolidate the benefit for all Guatemalans at an institutional level with a framework that ties and includes everything the mayors have been promoting”, said Catalán.
First investor The first group of foreign investors that contributed to the project of the Inter Oceanic Corridor was EUROGAS Enterprises. The Executive Director, Jan Blichfeldt, said that the corporation puts together capital from different countries – among them Denmark, Finland and Holland, and which experience is directed toward developing infrastructure linked to communications, transportation, energy, petroleum and its derivatives.
“The coherence of the business model with the needs of the country and world trade allows us to believe that the inter oceanic corridor will become one of the links in the global logistics chain. Our presence in this project is the consequence of having validated it, which gives us a deep conviction that this will be a project that favors the country with world trade”, the director explained. Catalán stated that before the end of this year, they will have paid all 3,533 landholders for the land that this project covers.
Satisfaction President Otto Pérez Molina declared: “It gives me satisfaction to announce that the inter oceanic corridor has been declared of national interest, a condition of support and commitment for all the activities that this private project can develop”.
Pérez Molina added: “The government has seen this project as having a high impact on the future of our nation, where there is great hope for social and economic development for the country”.
Initiative · The project covers 46 municipalities in seven departments and 19 municipal
associations. · 3,533 plots of land will be bought, which will be paid for in full at the end of this
year. · The project will cover a surface area of 140 meters wide by 372 kilometers
long. · The corridor will join the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. · Two new ports will be built where the latest ships will dock. · There will be a railway to transport the containers from port to port in four and a
half hours. The construction of the project will benefit the east coast of the United States.
Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua are promoting similar projects to transport merchandise from port to port and therefore compete with the Panama Canal.
Progress in preliminary work for the Interoceanic Corridor
The identification and registry of 3 thousand 533 properties where the Interoceanic Corridor runs, are the progress of the megaproject announced this Wednesday by President Otto Pérez Molina in Teculután, Zacapa. Two days from the first anniversary of the presentation of the project, the directors said that the land that will be used for the railroads and highways, as transit points, would add up to approximately
21639 hectares. In a press conference, Pérez Molina highlighted the results obtained by private and public initiative; in addition, he said that the next step is the purchase of the right of way, with an investment of $370 million (Q 1,886 million). “The efforts made by private initiative must be highlighted, and as the Government we support this, it will be an important investment for the region", declared the head of state. He also estimated that the purchase of the properties means an investment and direct support to at least 30 thousand families, foreseeing the creation of similar amounts of employment. He also explained that the verification process of the selected places and the mapping took at least ten years; in about 20 days, it is expected that the documents will be taken to the Property Registry to be legalized in favor of the project, as well as for the payment of the taxes for each. The Interoceanic Corridor will be a joint highway, railroad, bridges and transportation infrastructure to shorten time and the costs for goods exchanges between the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, in addition to being an alternative for the Panama Canal. This project will be made up of 9 local authority associations, 46 municipalities from the eastern part of the country; it will be 372 kilometers long and have an oil pipeline, among other transfer systems for products; including the creation of two new ports. (By: Secretariat for Social Communication of the Presidency, 04/24/2013 ) ( By: Secretaría de Comunicación Social de la Presidencia , 24/04/2013 )
Negotiating land purchase for the Interoceanic Corridor
At the moment, consortiums are looking for resources of US$450 million to purchase the land in the mapping. Within six months, they are expected to begin working on building the Interoceanic Corridor that will have a cost of US$7 billion. It is expected to be finalized in 2020. The project representative and President of the liaison and business office for the region, Guillermo Catalán, stated that for the moment, three consortiums are negotiating the paperwork in order to obtain 450 million dollars to purchase the land where the corridor will run.
“The property must be titled, but it is not only about paying the owners, but the taxes and the registry values”, stated Catalán. According to the information received, the project will pass through five departments to join both oceans. There are agreements with at least two thousand 919 owners". “The main idea is to position the country in the economic scenario”, said the representative. According to Catalán, the benefits for our nation will translate to greater foreign investment, sources of employment and sustainable development".
The project
The Interoceanic Corridor of Guatemala (CIG) is infrastructure made up of a strip of land, three thousand three hundred thirty-six kilometers long and one hundred meters wide, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. An interoceanic railroad for the transportation of containers, a paved road with four lanes and an oil pipeline will be built. This will be complemented with the creation of industrial parks along the length of the zone, with two port complexes at both ends of the corridor. We foresee economic growth and employment sources.

Interoceanic Corridor to become a reality through land purchase
During the verification of the progress of the Interoceanic Corridor in Teculutan, Zacapa, this Thursday, President Otto Pérez Molina, said that in the next 20 days the purchase of 3 thousand 533
properties where the project will become a reality, are being negotiated.
BY PRENSA LIBRE.COM GUATEMALA GUATEMALA CITY – For the purchase of land that will be used to make railroads and highways, they have established US$370 million (Q2 thousand 960 million) from private and public funding. The verification of the properties and the drawing of maps required at least 10 years work; notwithstanding, there is a requirement of at least five years of work so the project can become a reality. The objective of the project is to become a place to exchange goods between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans as an alternative to the Panama Canal. With the purchase of the land, they expect to benefit at least 30 thousand families directly. The Corridor will go through 46 municipalities of Izabal, Zacapa, Jutiapa and Chiquimula; it will be 372 kilometers long and 140 meters wide. In February of this year, Pérez Molina began a work tour in Spain, looking for investors for the project. *With information from Geovanni Contreras ( By: Prensa Libre.com , 24/04/2013 ) ( By: Prensa Libre.com , 24/04/2013 )
