the loan it provided for this project. The U.S. exports of goods
and services for the Cuauhtemoc Wastewater Treatment Facility
were 3.5 million USD. Our Vice President sends you her
regards."

Success Stories
Major Projects
SAIC is selected to install an Integrated Container Information System at the Port of Veracruz
The U.S. Commercial Service in Mexico worked closely with public and private sector partners to support the Port of Veracruz expansion project. In 2002, the Port received a US$ 408,000 grant from the U.S. Trade Development Agency for a project feasibility study to add more throughput capacity to this key maritime facility. As a result of these activities, including sustained support from U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza and his business development team, the port acquired a US$5.8 million Integrated Container Information System (ICIS), a non-intrusive imaging inspection system from Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). SAIC is located in San Diego, CA and is a leading provider of scientific, engineering, system integration, and technical services and solutions. Click here to read full text.
