AmeraMex International, a provider of heavy equipment to logistics, infrastructure construction and mining companies, is preparing to ship four large container handling machines  totaling approximately $250,000 to Honduras, Central America Lee Hamre, CEO of AmeraMex, said: "Central American countries are gearing up for container shipments both in and out of any country bordering the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. As cargo ships are getting larger, they are having difficulty navigating the Panama Canal and are beginning to use alternative transfer companies to move loaded containers from the Pacific to the Gulf and back.
"There is a project in place to widen the Canal, but it is expected to take eight to ten years to complete. In the meantime, Central American ports are gearing up for business, and we believe our reputation as a one-stop-shop for quality container handlers, parts, and operator training will provide us a competitive edge with governments in the region. We believe our efforts to expand our pipeline in Africa and Central and South America will generate a banner year for AmeraMex."
