About This Seaport
On Mexico's Pacific coast in Sinaloa state, Mazatlán pairs a busy fishing economy with a genuine multipurpose cargo role. It is the largest fishing port on the country's west coast, but its commercial backbone is the Terminal Marítima Mazatlán (TMAZ), operated by SAAM Terminals (Hanseatic Global Terminals): a roughly 1,300-metre berth dredged to about 12.2 metres that handles RoRo traffic, dry and liquid bulk, breakbulk, project cargo and vehicles. In the automotive trade it ranks as the second-largest vehicle port on Mexico's Pacific, transferring more than 170,000 units in 2025. Container volumes are modest by contrast — around 44,000 TEU in 2024 against capacity near 80,000 TEU — so shippers moving large box flows generally route through Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico's principal Pacific container gateways. A car and passenger ferry links Mazatlán across the Gulf of California to La Paz in Baja California Sur. Inland, road and rail connections reach across Sinaloa toward the agricultural interior. For forwarders, Mazatlán suits regional RoRo, vehicle, bulk and breakbulk shipments rather than mainline container cargo.
