Lázaro Cárdenas Port Receives MXN 13 Billion in Public-Private Investment

Lázaro Cárdenas Port is consolidating its position as one of the country’s main logistics hubs with a total investment of MXN 13 billion aimed at strengthening its infrastructure and operational capacity. The figure includes MXN 7.47 billion in public investment and MXN 5.76 billion in private capital, driving regional development and international competitiveness.

Public investment boost

Public projects stand out for their impact on mobility and connectivity. These include the development of Isla de la Palma as a new 608-hectare logistics hub, the construction of strategic roads such as Bahía de los Ángeles and Vialidad C, and the modernization of Customs Compound 031, which incorporates photovoltaic roofs to promote the use of clean energy.

Improvements are also underway at the port’s customs and exits, with lane expansions and 1.2 kilometers of fiscal roadway. The aerodrome is also undergoing rehabilitation, including a renovated runway, control tower, lighting, and weather station. These projects aim to enhance regional connectivity and reinforce environmental sustainability.

Private sector participation

Private investment directly strengthens port operations. Hutchison Ports LCT is expanding 28.3 hectares and building a 344-meter berth, while APM Terminals is carrying out a 15.7-hectare expansion with the acquisition of next-generation cranes and empty container handlers.

SSA Marine Mexico is developing 4.12 hectares for vehicle handling with electrical and data infrastructure, and Hyundai Glovis is building a 14.65-hectare yard with capacity for 8,800 units. In addition, bidding is underway for the new Multipurpose Terminal IV, focused on handling cabotage cargo, mineral bulk, and general cargo.

The port is thus strengthening its yards, berths, and terminals, while ensuring 24/7 continuous operation, greater customs efficiency, and international competitiveness.

With this combination of public and private resources, Lázaro Cárdenas is positioned as a key platform for global trade, integrating sustainability, security, and expanded logistics services.
