Home Port revoked work Constructora Manzanillo
By: Editor
12/08/2015
To detect irregularities in the allocation of the construction of the "Home Port" in Puerto Penasco, Sonora, the Secretariat of Public Administration decided to revoke the contract established by the Commission for Tourism Development of Sonora with the company "Constructora Manzanillo" to the development of the work. ...
The document states that the award of the work done to "Constructora Manzanillo" is inappropriate, since this work previously, had been awarded to the company Diamond Infrastructure and Industrial Projects (Ipidsa).
This situation had already been noted by William Garduza Urgell, director of Ipidsa, who through a letter, denounced pressures by the former head of the Commission for Tourism Development in Sonora, Javier Tapia Camou, to give the project construction Home Port, which then would be delivered to "Constructora Manzanillo".
The contract signed by the Cofetur and this construction company, established an amount of 208 million 769 thousand 229 pesos, with an implementation period of 4 September 2015 to 13 June 2016.
Additionally, as part of this contract, an advance in the amount of 50 million pesos for the construction of the work, which will be located in the municipality of Puerto Penasco be granted.
"The award of the contract is unfair to the company" Constructora Manzanillo ", since the work was already awarded, coupled with the fact that it was in after the working day of February 2015 date, the day when the Commission Tourism Development in Sonora, he was required to file year end to the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) and the Secretariat of Public Function (SFP), "the operative issued by the federal agency.
As an immediate action mandated by the federal authority, indicated that the Port Authority, in coordination with the Cofetur should perform immediate repayment to the Treasury of the Federation, resources in the amount of 50 million pesos, plus financial income generated, resources that had been considered as an advance for the construction of the project.

They are now setting pilings off the point of the rock jetty. We fished there most of the day yesterday and they were working but did not set even one pilling. Fishing was OK but could not believe that nothing happened on the deck of the rig. Well this is Mex. and at least they seem to be working.
No idea why they are setting them.

I hope to see these smaller ships cruising out of Penasco: http://www.weblogtheworld.com/formats/featured/cruise-your-way-through-the-sea-of-cortez/

If? there are large ships (1200-2000 people) operating from the Cruise Port, I could see some smaller operators operating from there.
But if it turns out that the people who sold the concept of a home port in RP under estimated the desire for cruising from RP and this
turns out to be un-profitable for all involved, then nothing will operate from there. The cost of keeping it open would be expensive.
Maybe as some have wished, a few bar's, restaurant's, taco stand's and fishing supply/bait shops on the jetty would be a better idea.

Basically agree, but I think the Homeport will probably be the same situation as the airport. Minimal usage and a bored skeleton crew waiting and hoping for some action.If? there are large ships (1200-2000 people) operating from the Cruise Port, I could see some smaller operators operating from there.
