PEMEX and offshore service providers such as AMAPET set the rhythm at Ciudad del Carmen (MX CME), a supply base on Isla del Carmen rather than a commercial container gateway. Since the Cantarell discovery in the 1970s, the port has served the drilling and production platforms of the Campeche Sound, roughly 70 km offshore. Throughput is dominated by upstream supplies — drilling pipe, mud, equipment, provisions and tank goods moved on platform supply vessels and barges. Shallow depths (channel around 3.4 m) rule out deep-draught liner or bulk calls, so containerised cargo does not route through here. Road bridges link Isla del Carmen to the mainland for onward trucking. Shippers needing container, breakbulk or bulk handling should look to Dos Bocas or Veracruz.
