ENSENADA – The head of a business group that claims mineral rights at the site of Baja California's proposed Punta Colonet megaport is accusing a federal official of threatening him and his family to get the group to drop the claim.
...
The demands, Rodríguez said, included sole authority to build the breakwater, to dredge the harbor, to operate tugboats and to fuel the millions of container ships expected to unload Asian cargo. The cargo would be sent into the United States interior via a new rail line up the Baja California peninsula.
...
Global marine terminal operators, shipping companies and rail firms are said to be eager to proceed with the port project. It is expected to be larger than the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach combined and relieve some pressure on them from an increasing amount of cargo from Asia, especially China.
