Any new info?

I found some general information on this website:
http://www.virtualvallarta.com/puertovallarta/read/expanding-our-maritime-te.shtml

Although I found no target date for completion in the article, it DID say the project is ON SCHEDULE.

Here's some excerpts from the above article:

At present, the Maritime Terminal has two docks, capable of handling ships of up to 300 and 250 meters long (984 and 820 feet) respectively. Whenever longer ships arrive or when there are more than two simultaneous arrivals (we had nine triple and seven quadruple arrivals in 2005), ships have to remain anchored offshore

...

The expansion project calls for partially demolishing, redesigning and lengthening Dock 2, and constructing an entirely new dock, along with specialized facilities for day cruises. It is expected that, once completed, the project will generate a 30% increase in cruise activity along the Pacific Riviera, not to mention the Maritime Terminal itself.

...

Francisco Martínez Narváez is proud to say that the Maritime Terminal expansion project is presently on schedule, thanks to a carefully orchestrated workforce of talented individuals fully committed to it. In the end, it’s hard to imagine what the maritime terminal will look like for the average passerby. But envisioning three massive cruise ships docked at the same time, two of them barely 35 feet away from the sidewalk, one word comes to mind: majestic

Thanks for info..There will be three ships in PV on our 12/1/06 cruise on the Mercury...

the expansion of Puerto Vallarta’s Maritime Terminal, a gargantuan project full of technical and logistical challenges involving hundreds of workers and specialists, was begun in September 2005 and is expected to be completed this coming November.

I know it will be in November but what year??
