Zergratran has launched a Reg A+ offering to raise initial funding of $75m for the construction of a green shipping corridor that will serve as an alternative to the Panama Canal for shipping containers.
Using a magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology system, the Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA) will be an underground tunnel that will transfer containers between fully automated ports on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Northern Colombia within 30 minutes.

As a new container shipping route and green shipping tunnel, PILA will start south of the Panama Canal in Northern Colombia.
