In anticipation of the new natural gas pipeline to Mazatlán slated to be operational in 2016, several companies located in the Bonfil Industrial Park contracted to install distribution lines to their locations and report the project is fifty percent completed.

The companies with forethought which hired Gas Natural Industrial SA de CV to install the pipes include Pescados Industrializados SA de CV, Café El Marino, Bimbo and Pacífico Beer.

The next order of business, said the industrial park’s administrator Francisco Castillo López, is to petition the municipal government to direct the Torreón contractor to acquire an insurance policy against hidden risks. According to the contractor’s certificate, the company is required to maintain and protect the lines for only six months after completion of the project.

The 2013-2014 shrimp season for the Mexican Pacific waters that includes Sinaloa comes to an end today at 8:00 pm. Michel Ricardo Luna, president of the Coastal Ship Owners Union of the Pacific Ocean, said the area closing today extends from Sonora to Nayarit and encompasses 80 percent of the Pacific coast shrimping fleet. The shrimp season for the remaining 15 percent, those fishing the waters from Jalisco to Guatemala, will end on March 28.

Although this season’s catch is no more than that of last season, the market value of shrimp was up by 40 percent. According to Conapesca through February 7^th 8,553 tons of shrimp had been caught by the Sinaloa shrimping fleet, only 4 percent less than the 8,865 tons caught during the same period last season.

Sinaloa pangas accounted for 6,832 tons of shrimp, up 23 percent over last season’s catch for the same period of 5,538 tons.

Most the vessels in the Mazatlán shrimp fleet have returned to the dock at Bonfil.
