About This Seaport
Roughly 12,000 TEU a year of capacity tells you most of what a freight planner needs to know about La Paz (MX LAP): this is a regional supply port, not an international container gateway. The commercial facility sits at Pichilingue, about 17 km from the city on the Bay of La Paz off the Gulf of California, with twelve berths and around 9.5 m of draft for smaller vessels. It is a multipurpose port handling RoRo, containerised, bulk and general cargo, and also receives cruise traffic at anchor and alongside. Baja Ferries dominates operations, moving most containerised and rolling freight on the cross-Cortez routes to Mazatlán and Topolobampo. With no rail on the Baja peninsula, hinterland distribution depends entirely on Highway 1, and vehicle imports clear through the on-site Banjercito office. Shippers needing high container volumes or mainline services should route via Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas on the mainland Pacific, or Ensenada further north in Baja California.
