Cited from endi.com UPRM signed an agreement with Holland Group Consortium, the company that manages the port of Mayagüez. " 'Our institution has bachelors’, masters and doctoral degrees that can practice at an installation like this, so those future professionals futures can get experience. This was the case with the Tren Urbano, where about 150 graduate students in engineering participated on the building plans of the train system for 10 years', said the director of the RUM, Jorge Iván Vélez Arocho." "Among the programs that UPRM is most interested to develop the RUM in the port, is the Food Safety Program." The risks of food contamination are more probable during transport, loading and unloading of the food, thus the importance of the existence of a good food safety plan at the Mayagüez port.
