Puerta México Intermodal Facility, located in the industrial zone of Toluca 65 km west of Mexico City, is now officially open.
The new terminal, which was purchased by Marine Terminals Corp before that company was merged into the Ports America Group, offers multi-modal terminal services and on-site customs and bonded warehousing facilities to ocean carriers, railroads, intermodal and other logistics service providers.
With its on-dock direct access to rail line “N” of Kansas City Southern de México (KCSM), Puerta México will become the terminal of choice for service to and from the central valley, the ports of Lázaro Cárdenas and Manzanillo, and Laredo at the US border.
The facility’s estimated capacity exceeds 150,000 containers and more than two million tons of cargo per year on more than 130 developed acres. It essentially doubles the intermodal capacity available to the greater Mexican central valley region and alleviates a major bottleneck in the central valley supply chain.
In addition to storage, cross-dock and transloading, the terminal will be a vehicle distribution centre.
