Terminal Marítima Mazatlán (TMAZ) reported positive results for the first half of 2025, with a 15% increase in volumes compared to the same period of the previous year. “This performance has been driven mainly by dynamic markets for container and breakbulk handling, both in steel and project cargo,” detailed the terminal’s general manager, Mauricio Ortiz.
One of the most relevant milestones of the period was the new equipment added to reinforce operational capacity, including two automatic spreaders for Gottwald cranes, four semi-automatic spreaders and another one for 53-foot containers. In addition, investments were approved to acquire 17 terminal tractors, 13 platforms and four reach stackers, which will further improve the efficiency and availability of equipment at the terminal.
“We have expanded our cargo portfolio to include new spot cargo such as steel plates, structural beams and live cattle, which consolidates us as a multipurpose terminal. We also launched a new intermodal service in collaboration with Baja Ferries and Ferromex to move 53-foot containers between the center of the country and Baja California Sur, strengthening logistics connectivity in the region,” said Ortiz.
The terminal is not stopping there: The executive added that the objective for 2025 is to expand the total volume from 2024 by 10%, an ambitious goal considering the high volatility stemming from U.S. trade policies, which has pushed our customers to act more conservatively and adjust their purchasing and logistics decisions. “We are working very hard to continue the positive streak from the last three years in both sales and operational terms. We are on the right track and we want to continue moving forward with value-added services for our customers, more training for our team and operational optimization projects to continue improving service times in ships, yards and warehouses,” he said.
