With Colombia’s strategic geographic location at the mouth of South America, which provides port access to both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and proximity to the Panama Canal and U.S. markets, Columbia is an attractive option for international companies looking to invest. In this context, a private multinational company retained Nathan to assess a potential investment through a series of market analyses and financial projections for two Colombian ports at Santa Marta and Barranquilla.

The market assessment considered the prospects for containers, general cargo, and bulk cargoes, including both liquid and dry products, and analyzed the potential for the specific facilities related to the investment. The analysis looked at future growth potential of the terminals by segment and provided 20-year demand and revenue projections for each market segment.
