After more than a year since the first crossing of vehicles through the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) , the second shipment with three thousand vehicles from Hyundai Glovis Mexico was carried out .
The units arrived from the ship Glovis Condor at the port of Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, coming from Masan, South Korea, to be transferred by the interoceanic railway to Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, towards the ports of Brunswick and Philadelphia, in the United States.
“The arrival of this second interoceanic vehicle crossing demonstrates the private sector’s confidence in Oaxaca’s logistical capabilities. Each operation strengthens the state’s position as a key hub for international trade and contributes to generating investment, employment, and well-being for Oaxacan families,” highlighted Raúl Ruiz Robles, Secretary of Economic Development of Oaxaca.
He emphasized that the state government is working in coordination with the CIIT to take advantage of the strategic benefits of this infrastructure, promote the attraction of investments , and generate greater development opportunities for the state.
It is worth remembering that on March 27, 2025, the Glovis Cosmos ship arrived at the port of Salina Cruz from Asia, with 900 units of said automotive company as part of a pilot program to use the CIIT , thus making the first interoceanic crossing.
Ruiz Robles considered that the transfer of these units reaffirms the potential of the CIIT to offer efficient logistics solutions , strengthen national and international supply chains and consolidate the Isthmus of Tehuantepec as one of the main centers of economic development in the country.
This operation represents a new step forward in the consolidation of the Corridor , a project promoted by the Mexican government to boost development in the south-southeast of the country, improve connectivity between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and consolidate a logistics platform that increases Mexico’s competitiveness in international trade, he stressed.
This move confirms the continuity of the service and the confidence of international companies in this logistics platform.
Furthermore, it strengthens the country’s strategy to position the CIIT as a global logistics hub to serve supply chains linked to the automotive industry and other sectors.
