A. M. The Government of El Salvador continues to advance its economic development strategy by reactivating the port of La Unión, a key infrastructure for the country’s logistics transformation. Through a mixed economy alliance with the Turkish company Yilport Holding Inc. an operating model is being consolidated that seeks to attract foreign investment, generate employment and strengthen international trade.

The recent arrival of the vessel Glovis Solomon at the port of La Unión is a clear example of the progress achieved. In this operation, 553 vehicles were unloaded, of which 104 will remain in the country, strengthening the national vehicle fleet, while the remaining 449 will be re-exported, positioning El Salvador as a reliable and competitive logistics center in the region.
These types of operations reflect not only the modernization of the eastern maritime terminal, but also the direct impact on the national economy. Each shipment generates employment, activates the foreign trade value chain and improves efficiency in the transfer and distribution times of goods, which translates into tangible benefits for various productive sectors.
The Comisión Ejecutiva Portuaria Autónoma (CEPA), together with Yilport Holding Inc. is fulfilling the presidential vision of turning La Unión into a strategic axis of the Economic Plan, specifically in its logistics phase. This commitment strengthens the structural capacities of the eastern zone, which has traditionally lagged, opening new opportunities for sustainable economic development.
With these actions, El Salvador consolidates its path towards a more dynamic and competitive economy, capable of integrating with greater strength to international markets. The reactivation of the port of La Unión is more than an investment in infrastructure: it is an investment in the country’s economic future.
