Salina Cruz is first and foremost an energy and bulk harbour rather than a container gateway. On Mexico's Pacific coast in Oaxaca, the port is anchored by Pemex's Antonio Dovalí Jaime refinery and handles mainly petroleum products, alongside agricultural and mineral bulk and a limited volume of containers. Its Muelle II quay runs 465 metres with roughly 10 metres of draught, accommodating vessels up to about 180 metres. The Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec—whose Line Z rail link to Coatzacoalcos on the Gulf of Mexico is already running—aims to turn the port into the Pacific end of an inter-ocean land bridge by 2026. Inland reach depends on the corridor railway and the road toward Oaxaca City. For scheduled container traffic on Mexico's Pacific seaboard, Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas remain the established alternatives.
