With about 543,600 visitors aboard 174 cruise ships in 2023, Puerto Vallarta (MX PVR) functions mainly as a cruise and passenger port on Mexico's Pacific coast, not a freight terminal. Operated by ASIPONA across three international piers, it has only very limited commercial cargo relevance, and no significant container or customs handling infrastructure is confirmed. Forwarders moving ocean freight to this part of the Mexican Pacific route their shipments through Manzanillo (Colima), by far the region's largest container port.
