About This Seaport
APM Terminals Yucatán operates the container terminal at Puerto Progreso (MXPGO), Mexico's principal gateway for the Yucatán Peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico, handling roughly 150,000 TEU a year and over 54,000 TEU in the first half of 2024 alone. Seven commercial berths across some 40 hectares process approximately 2.84 million tonnes of general cargo and around 650 vessel calls annually. Beyond containers, the multipurpose IUM 1-3 terminals handle grain through operator Multisur (Logra Group), plus cement, fuel and general cargo for stevedoring firm Gestión de Servicios Portuarios de México. SSA México runs the port's sole cruise terminal, welcoming ships bound for Mérida and the Chichén Itzá ruins. A major expansion is underway to widen the access channel beyond 500 feet and deepen it to about 47 feet, allowing larger vessels to call. Customs clearance is handled on-site by Mexico's SAT authority, supporting import and export processing for shippers serving the peninsula. Road links connect the port to Mérida and onward to the rest of the Yucatán, though rail access remains limited compared to Gulf ports further west. Shippers without direct access to Progreso commonly route cargo via Altamira or Veracruz instead. The ongoing channel deepening project positions Progreso to accommodate larger container vessels as regional trade volumes rise.
