In April 2025, APM Terminals Moín in Costa Rica launched a comprehensive modernisation project aimed at enhancing port performance and improving the customer experience, as stated in the company's announcement.

The project is strategically scheduled during the country's low import and export season to minimise disruptions to trade. Its primary focus is on redeveloping the terminal's main access point to enhance speed and control in landside operations.

Key upgrades include:

- Construction of new control booths

- Installation of traffic management systems, sensors, and biometric validation tools

- Implementation of secondary inspection lanes equipped with advanced screening technology

- Development of a new return lane to facilitate smooth reentry to National Route 257

These improvements will replace the existing system, which currently relies on a fixed verification station for container appointments and driver documentation. By integrating automation and real-time validation tools, the terminal aims to increase throughput while ensuring the safety of personnel and cargo.

The access modernisation is part of APM Terminals Moín's broader commitment to upgrading operational infrastructure and implementing sustainable technologies. Recent initiatives include:

- Digitalisation of access and container data

- Electrification of Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes

- Deployment of Smart STS Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology

- Upgrades to twist lock control systems

- Implementation of non-intrusive scanning technology for customs authorities

- Enhancement of LTE network coverage

- Migration of network infrastructure and device upgrades

- Construction of facilities to improve traffic flow

- Installation of truck alignment systems under cranes
