About This Seaport
Operated by Mexico's federal port authority ASIPONA and home to grain terminals run by Cargill, TCE (ADM) and TMV, Veracruz is the country's historic Gulf gateway and one of its busiest cargo ports. The port moved around 1.14 million TEU in 2023, ranking among Mexico's top three for containers, with capacity expanded to between 1.8 and 2.1 million TEU. Automotive traffic is a mainstay: Veracruz feeds vehicles and parts to assembly plants in Puebla, Aguascalientes and Guanajuato. Bulk and agricultural flows are equally important, covering grain, corn, coffee, sugar and fertilisers through dedicated terminals. The navigation channel runs about 14 metres deep, and the port offers major repair services and a medium dry dock. Rail and highway links connect the quays to Mexico City's highlands and the central industrial belt. For forwarders, Veracruz is the obvious choice for container, Ro-Ro and automotive cargo on Mexico's Gulf coast. For Pacific-side shipments, Manzanillo is the alternative, while Altamira is the nearest Gulf option for containers and chemicals.
