Mexican company CDM (Comercio para el Desarrollo Mexicano) is expected to submit documents by Friday (Aug.6) to the federal customs authority to receive permission to import cement from Russia, a port authority official told BNamericas.
Until then, the company cannot unload the 27,000t of cement stored on its Panamanian-flagged ship Mary Nour, which has been docked at Altamira port for nearly two weeks.
The Altamira port official said CDM tried to import foreign cement without a permit and that if customs does not extend permission, the Mary Nour will have to turn back. A CDM official could not be reached for comment Wednesday while customs could not immediately answer BNamericas’ questions.
