Mexico and Florida seek to enhance shorter maritime routes to streamline regional logistics

On September 21, 2025, Mexico and the state of Florida announced a collaboration to enhance shorter maritime routes connecting both territories. This initiative seeks to streamline regional logistics, diversify options in the face of land transport saturation, and strengthen trade between both countries.

Boost to cabotage and the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus

The strategy is supported by the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus and measures to stimulate cabotage, seeking to diversify options in the face of land transport saturation. This approach not only optimizes existing routes but also promotes the development of port infrastructure and the creation of new logistical connections.

Key connections on the Mexico-Florida route

The project contemplates a network of connections that would include the Mexican ports of Matamoros, Altamira, Tampico, Tuxpan, Veracruz, Coatzacoalcos, Dos Bocas, Salina Cruz, Huatulco, and Puerto Chiapas. These routes would connect with Florida ports such as Tampa, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale. The implementation of these short-distance routes seeks to reduce transit times, decrease logistics costs, and improve efficiency in the supply chain.

Benefits for the Mexican logistics sector

This initiative represents a significant opportunity for the Mexican logistics sector. The optimization of maritime routes will allow for greater competitiveness in international trade, especially in the context of the USMCA. Furthermore, the diversification of transport options will reduce dependence on land transport, mitigating risks associated with potential blockages or congestion on the main land routes.
