Trailers, trucks and passenger cars — not deep-sea containers — make up the freight that moves through Pichilingue, the roll-on/roll-off ferry harbour serving the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. Operators including Baja Ferries and TMC run the crossings from here to Mazatlán and Topolobampo in Sinaloa, carrying rolling cargo across the Gulf of California rather than sending it the long way around by road. A vessel such as the California Star takes roughly 2,850 lane-metres, equivalent to about 200 trucks, and the harbour's 11 m approach channel and 9.4 m cargo berth are sized for these ferries and modest break-bulk parcels, with bunker fuel available. Hinterland distribution runs through the adjacent city of La Paz and the highway north; there is no rail connection. Shippers needing containerised imports for the region typically pair Pichilingue with the mainland ferry ports of Topolobampo or Mazatlán, or with long-haul trucking from the US border.
