Facts and Figures
2 Mexico Logistics Infrastructure
The following are port assessments for the ports of Veracruz and Progreso.
2.1 Mexico Port of Veracruz
Port Overview
The Port of Veracruz is on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in south-central Mexico, a little over 300 kilometers east-southeast of Mexico City. Veracruz is Mexico's biggest and most important port and a transportation centre for the State of Veracruz. Located about 240 kilometers southeast of the Port of Tuxpan and almost 400 kilometers southeast of the Port of Tampico, the port is the backbone of the city's economy. It is also an important fishing port. The primary clients of the port are international car companies that have factories in the State of Puebla.
In 1991, the Federal Government took over the control and administration of the Port of Veracruz and brought in private stevedoring companies to improve cargo-handling operations. In 1993, the Mexican Congress passed the General Ports Act to regulate all aspects of the country's ports and to create the Integrated Port Administrations. The Administracion Portuaria Integral de Veracruz (APIVER) was established in 1994. The APIVER is a variable capital corporation with a 50-year concession, extendable another 50 years, to manage and operate the Port of Veracruz facilities and buildings. Through third parties, APIVER manages port facilities, operates terminals, and port facilities.
According to 2017 figures, 60% of seaway vehicle export and import is passing through Port of Veracruz. There are many vehicle terminal operators using public berths for vessel operations. There is 1 dedicated container terminal and another multi-purpose terminal operator for containerized volumes which is the major operation of Port of Veracruz with 40% of total tonnage in 2017.There are a couple of solid bulk terminal concessions as well, but all grain terminals and 2 liquid bulk terminals are equipped to receive bulk shipments only, they do not have the capacity to perform export shipments. Only way to export bulk grain is using public berths and stevedoring companies.
The new Port of Veracruz that is 6 km North of the current port will become operational within 2019. Current port will not be closed, and it will remain in service. Container Terminal will be moving to the new port, current multi-purpose and grain terminals will be staying where they are and there will be 2 new bulk grain terminals in the new port as additional capacity, one for mineral grain and other for alimentation solid grain. A new logistics centre including a free zone is planned and being constructed behind the new port area which will bring new investment and further development to the area.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies
Container Terminal
Hutchison ICAVE, handling %86 of container volumes in Port of Veracruz, concession will be ending in 2039, %100 subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings. Hutchison ICAVE will be moving from its current location to new port in second half of 2019. Phase 1 will be 41,5 hectares and construction of Phase 2 will start in 2020 for an additional terminal area of 31.5 hectares. When finalized, Hutchison Icave will have 1,050 meters dock with 3 berthing positions with 15,5 meters draft in comparison to 500 meters dock, 1 berthing position and 10,5 meters draft of today.
Multi-purpose Terminal (using public berth)
CICE is handling %20 of Veracruz Terminal volumes as multi-purpose terminal operator and stevedoring company. Their main operation is, steel and aluminium coils, bulk grain and minerals, containers, vehicles and project cargo. As a stevedoring company they can operate from 6 public docks for a total of 15 positions.
Grain Terminals
Cargill, TMV (Terminal Maritima Veracruz), TCE (Terminales de Cargas Especializadas) owned by ADM are solid grain terminals in the port. They only have import and temporary storage (maximum 2 weeks) capabilities.
Tank Terminals
Vopak and Excellence Sea & Land are tank terminals with ability to receive vegetable oil shipments as they do not have the equipment to heat pipeline connecting the tanks to the berthing pier. They have the capability to store mineral oils and petroleum and chemicals in the same facility. Mexican National Petroleum company PEMEX also has a tank storage terminal within the port facilities.
Vehicle Terminals
CPV and SSA are private vehicle terminal operators using public berths for loading and unloading operations.
Port Performance
Main limitation for Veracruz Port is low port draft which is 12,5 meters with high-tide and in average terminals operate with 10-11 meters drafts excluding Hutchison Icave which 12,8 meters draft shall be considered. Current port has 18 positions and when new port will be operational, this will increase to 53 positions and port will be able to receive vessels with 15 meters draft which can be increased till 20 meters in the future. All container lines calling Hutchison Terminal are assigned with berthing windows. Max Panamax size vessel are being operated. Regarding grain exports, only option is to use public berths and stevedoring companies that as grain terminals are equipped only for receiving from the vessel. Below mentioned cargo handling volumes are excluding containerized volumes.

Above figures are covering all mode of transports. Please see below September 2018 SAT Strategic Analysis. (In Spanish)
As for the Mexican Customs, the export of goods has few requirements. A Tax Invoice (including the CFDI with Foreign Trade Complement) must be provided, or, in cases where there is no purchase, a declaration where the merchandise value and its description and quantity are manifested. Also, you must hire a customs broker to fill out an export customs declaration.
Very few products require Mexican official permits or standards at the point of export (although there are exceptions such as tequila, mezcal, or avocado), or pay a different tax to the simple customs processing fee. In the case of exporters of wines and liquors, it is necessary to register in the sectorial census of corresponding exporters to avoid payment of the IEPS corresponding to the exported goods. Other goods, such as metals and jewellery, also need to be registered.
Some points to consider are the following:
- Wooden Emblems (boxes, pallets, crates). International standards force exporters to products that go with wooden packaging. The international standard has been adopted in Mexico through the Official Mexican Standard NOM-044-SEMARNAT-2004.
- Certifications of Mexican Authorities. The export of various products, especially food, and products derived from the vegetable or animals require certifications from Mexican authorities for foreign authorities to allow their entry into the country. Especially, SAGARPA, SEMARNAT and the Ministry of Health carry out certifications with international validity in the areas of their competence.
- Certificates of origin. To be able to benefit from the International Treaties that Mexico has signed with commercial partners, it is required to deliver to its foreign client the Certificate of Origin corresponding to the corresponding Treaty.

Terminal Information
Multipurpose Terminal
There is no multi-purpose terminal. 2 public berths under Port Authority API management and facilitation of stevedoring companies as Multisur or Gestion de Servicios Portuarios de Mexico needs be considered as the only option.
Grain and Bulk Handling
There are no bagging facilities and only grain terminal in Progreso is not equipped to ship but to receive from the vessel only. So again, only way to perform grain shipment from the port is using public berths and mentioned stevedoring companies.
Main Storage Terminal
Except container terminal for export shipments with containers, all liquid and solid grain storage capacity is for import shipment. There is no additional warehouse facilities.
