About This Seaport
Roughly 293 km of highway separate Tuxpan from Mexico City, making this Veracruz port central Mexico's closest deepwater gateway on the Gulf coast. Operated by SSA Marine, the Tuxpan Port Terminal (TPT) runs a 556-metre quay at 15-metre draft, two super-post-Panamax cranes, a semi-automated yard and 240 reefer plugs across about 85.7 hectares. Cargo spans containers, vehicles, general cargo, dry and liquid bulk, breakbulk and RoRo, giving forwarders a flexible mix; annual container capacity is around 710,000 to 800,000 TEU. Across its three Mexican terminals — two in Manzanillo and Tuxpan — SSA Marine handled just over 2.06 million TEU in 2025. Inland movement depends mainly on the Mexico City highway corridor, with through rail still limited, so drayage is the usual first and last mile. Shippers needing wider liner coverage or rail links often weigh Veracruz and Altamira as the larger Gulf alternatives.
