This tender corresponds to the "Construction Dredging and Formation of a 40-Hectare Northern Platform for the First Phase of the Progreso Port Expansion and Modernization Project," which aims to enhance the operational capacity of Yucatán's main port by building a new platform reclaimed from the sea.

According to data from the Mexico Project Database (Proyectos México), this tender is part of the broader Progreso Port expansion and modernization macro-project, with an estimated total investment of 7.225 billion pesos (approximately $412 million). The project plan includes dredging, construction of two 40-hectare platforms, and expansion of the port's navigation and operational areas to boost its logistics and commercial capabilities.

Per project documents, the first phase requires dredging approximately 1.41 million cubic meters of material to build the northern platform, along with related auxiliary works, to prepare the port for future expansion. This initiative is part of the federal government's strategy to strengthen national maritime infrastructure and enhance the throughput capacity of one of the country's six key ports.
