Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas: which port for cargo from Asia?
1 answer
Kold Gold answer Kold Gold Both are Mexico's main Pacific ports for Asian cargo, and the answer depends on the case. What we usually review:
· Carrier service: which services call at each port in the week of shipment. · Final destination: road or rail connection to the Bajío, central Mexico or the north. · Current congestion: terminal and gate times change by season. · Cargo type: reefer, oversized or goods subject to health inspections may tip the decision. · Rail: whether an intermodal leg to an inland terminal makes sense.
Transit and clearance times are always estimates and vary by season. Kold Gold compares both routes for each shipment and coordinates arrival, clearance with the allied customs broker and delivery.
