Handling about 2.53 million tonnes in 2022, Coatzacoalcos in Veracruz is Mexico's foremost oil and petrochemical port rather than a container gateway. Its traffic is dominated by liquid and dry bulk: sulphur, molasses and chemical products move outbound, while agricultural bulk, fertilizers and chemicals come in. Eight general-cargo berths, nine tanker berths and the Pajaritos petroleum terminal define the facility, alongside free-port handling for bulk and general cargo. Inland reach combines road and the Ferrosur railway, and the port anchors the Atlantic end of the Interoceanic Corridor across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to Salina Cruz on the Pacific. Forwarders moving boxes generally route them through Veracruz to the north, keeping Coatzacoalcos for liquid chemicals, bulk and project cargo.
