ASIPONA Progreso reports Fernando de Magallanes arriving on 26 October 2026 for third-phase stage 1, with an estimated 3,076,370 m3 of dredging. The port expansion also retains the earlier state-financed channel and private berth stages. July's 40 ha north-platform tender was declared void; the new mobilisation announcement identifies the work stage but leaves its contract and price unspecified.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Administracion del Sistema Portuario Nacional Progreso for the federal platform package; Government of Yucatan for the initial state phase; SSA Marine Mexico for the separate private berth stage
Delivery parties
SSA Marine Mexico - separate private second-stage berth works, Fernando de Magallanes - dredger identified in the 26 October third-phase stage 1 announcement; prime contract unspecified
Contract route
The earlier federal north-platform procedure LO-13-J 2 U-013 J 2 U 002-N-5-2026 was recorded void on 8 July 2026. ASIPONA's 26 October release adds third-phase stage 1 mobilisation. That short announcement does not identify the operative procurement procedure, prime contractor or contract value.
Execution window
Initial state-phase completion remains recorded on 19 March 2026, with the separate private-stage announcement on 19 June. ASIPONA records dredger arrival for third-phase stage 1 on 26 October; its release gives an estimated 3,076,370 m3 scope without a stage completion date.
Works package
The void federal package covered construction dredging of the access-channel curve and overwidth, secondary and transition channels, a complementary area and the west berth basin; excavation of any material including rock; topobathymetric setting-out; pipe installation; transport without repumping up to 1.5 km; placement into the new north platform; mobilisation; and an anti-sediment mesh with a maximum 11 m height. The wider expansion baseline separately identifies about 12.9 million m3 of dredging, a 150 m to 180 m channel widening, a 13.3 m channel depth, 12.5 m basins and two 40 ha platforms.
Marine interfaces
The delivery boundary links hard-material channel excavation, turning and berth geometry, dredged-material transport, hydraulic or pipeline placement into the north platform, sediment control, topobathymetric survey and acceptance. Those interfaces must also remain separate from the private berth deepening and extension announced for SSA Marine Mexico.
Commercial evidence boundary
The 26 October mobilisation changes the field position after the July procurement reset. The estimated stage volume is 3,076,370 m3. Suppliers need the operative package, material destination and working programme to scope participation; the broader expansion estimates and earlier private-stage budget retain their separate bases.

Dredger arrives for third-phase stage 1

ASIPONA reports Fernando de Magallanes arriving to begin third-phase stage 1, with an estimated 3,076,370 m3 dredging scope. Contract terms and completed quantities are separate follow-up records.

Source

Official project database revised the platform package to void

The database update records the 8 July ruling as void. Tender scope remains useful for package definition, but it is no longer evidence of an executable award path.

Source

Federal 40 ha north-platform tender declared void

No participating company, award, contract value, mobilisation, replacement timetable or continuing execution route is identified after the void ruling.

Source

State phase closed and separate private berth stage started

Yucatan distinguished the earlier public dredging phase from an SSA Marine Mexico stage that targets 13.3 m depth and a berth extension from 332 m to 450 m. This SSA Marine Mexico stage is separate from the void federal platform package.

Source

ASIPONA Progreso published the federal tender notice

The notice established the national public-works procedure and calendar. Its 24 June proposal-opening date differs from the 26 June date later shown by Proyectos Mexico.

Source

Macro database records initial state phase complete

The milestone closes the initial public dredging phase in the programme database; it does not close the private berth stage or the later platform procurement.

Source

State dredging phase reported at 90%

Yucatan reported approximately 1,363,393 m3 of rock, channel deepening from 11.75 m to 13.30 m, widening from 150 m to 180 m and lengthening from 7.4 km to 8.1 km within the initial phase.

Source

Initial state dredging phase entered delivery

The programme database uses month-level precision for the start. That phase is the predecessor to, not evidence of, the later federal platform package.

Source

Fernão de Magalhães arrived at Progreso

The government release provides project-specific plant context for the initial dredging phase without establishing the contractual role of every company in the expansion programme.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Operative third-phase stage 1 contract, programme and receiving arrangements
  • Stage-specific starting surface and measured dredging quantities
  • Accepted channel and basin geometry and predecessor interfaces
