Steel sheet coils, timber, bulk minerals, vehicles and general cargo move across docks 1 to 9 at Puerto Madero, the southernmost port in Mexico, now usually known as Puerto Chiapas. Titanium mineral shipped in bulk to Chinese ports has become a notable export line, alongside agricultural bulk and, since 2005, cruise calls. Opened in 1975 as a small farming and fishing harbour, the port was upgraded from the mid-2000s with multipurpose and heavy-cargo facilities. A container yard of about 6 hectares, more than 60,000 m² of covered space and double rail track alongside the docks support handling. Scheduled container liner traffic stays limited, so larger box volumes are better routed via Lázaro Cárdenas or Manzanillo. Road and rail connect the port to the Soconusco region of Chiapas near the Guatemalan border. For forwarders, Puerto Chiapas suits steel, timber, bulk and project cargo rather than mainline container trades.
