Expanded operations at the Mexican port of Altamira and increased management of exports at Lázaro Cárdenas by Amports.
Altamira Port Sets New Record in Ford Exports
The Mexican port of Altamira continued to make waves in the automotive industry in 2024, handling over 515,000 Ford vehicles – a 12.5% increase from the previous year. This growth placed Altamira as the fifth-busiest port in North America and the third-busiest in Mexico.
At the helm of the Ford exports from Altamira in 2024 was Carlos Mendoza, who managed around 58% of the Ford vehicles processed there. Meanwhile, Amports, a key player in the port's operations, efficiently managed the increasing throughput of Ford vehicles with daily communications and planning with port authorities, customs, other terminal operators, rail shipping, and rail providers.
Amports' role extended beyond the US east coast, with Ford vehicles exported to destinations in Europe and South America. The company managed exports for several automotive giants, including General Motors (GM), Hyundai Glovis, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Navistar, and Stellantis.
The Altamira Terminal Portuaria handled the majority of the Ford vehicles not processed by Amports in 2024. The port's growth in Ford vehicle handling has been consistent and significant in recent years, with 2024 marking the highest number of Ford vehicles handled on record.
Looking back, the port handled 457,442 Ford vehicles in 2023, a 33% rise from the previous year, demonstrating the port's commitment to growth and its importance in the automotive industry. Amports' management of Ford exports at the port contributes to this ongoing success.
The growth at Altamira is not limited to Ford exports, as the port also saw a boost in Ford imports. Despite the focus on Ford exports, the majority of the Ford vehicles shipped out of Altamira were bound for the US east coast.
In conclusion, the port of Altamira's growth in Ford vehicle handling, both imports and exports, positions it as a key player in the automotive industry. With efficient management from companies like Amports, the port looks set to continue its upward trajectory in the years to come.
