The CEO of the Baja California Sur Integrated Port Authority (API-BCS), Narciso Agúndez Gómez, announced that the company’s revenue from port operations increased by 61.9% between 2021 and 2025, rising from US$15.8 million to US$25.6 million.

During a press conference, Agúndez Gómez explained that the growth was due to improvements in revenue collection and oversight processes, as well as commercial agreements. The funds are being used to strengthen the agency, modernize infrastructure, and support social responsibility projects.

He explained that US$10.7 million has been allocated in four phases for 38 additional projects aimed at modernizing the port of Pichilingue, in addition to US$1.6 million for dredging work.

Among the social responsibility projects are the rehabilitation of the dock and seawall at the Port of Loreto, with an investment of US$854,400, and the construction of the “La Playita” fishing boat yard in Santa Rosalia, with US$3.5 million.

Similarly, the reconstruction of the Puerto San Carlos tourist pier stands out, with a budget of US$1.2 million, in collaboration with the Fund for the Protection of Marine Resources (Fonmar); meanwhile, US$10.2 million has been allocated to work on the damaged coastline in La Paz.

Also included are the renovation of El Manglito Park and the construction of a paddle tennis court in the 8 de Octubre neighborhood.

Meanwhile, by 2027, plans call for a fifth phase of modernization of the Port of Pichilingue, as well as the rehabilitation and maintenance of boulevards in San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. In addition, work will continue on El Coromuel, the “Inclusive Beach,” the 9.15-kilometer coastal boardwalk and the public pier in La Paz, and the completion of the “Todos a Bordo” inclusive park.

Governor Víctor Manuel Castro Cosío highlighted the results achieved by API-BCS and noted that the company’s consolidation makes it possible to continue the projects and initiatives that benefit the communities of Baja California Sur.
