Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor Manzanillo - Coatzacoalcos
The logistics corridor connecting Manzanillo, Colima to Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz represents one of Mexico's most critical domestic freight routes. This 1,048 km journey links the Pacific coast's busiest cargo port with a key Gulf of Mexico industrial hub, facilitating the movement of goods between Mexico's two major maritime gateways. The route traverses diverse terrain and crosses multiple states, making it essential for companies that need to move freight efficiently between Mexico's coasts.
The economic significance of this corridor cannot be overstated. Manzanillo's port handles over 2.5 million TEUs annually, serving as a primary entry point for imports destined for central and eastern Mexico.
