The National Port System Administration (Asipona) in Manzanillo reported that, as of 3:30 p.m. this Monday, the entry and exit of vehicles and merchandise has been reestablished at the points previously blocked by a demonstration by customs personnel.
“Thanks to dialogue between the parties involved, the mobilization was lifted in an orderly manner and without incident. As a result, logistics and cargo handling operations on the fiscal route have fully resumed,” the port authority said in a statement.
Around 100 administrative and operational workers from the Manzanillo customs office , mostly civilian personnel, gathered at the southern entrance to the port at 6:30 a.m. today to peacefully demonstrate for improvements in their working conditions.
Asipona Manzanillo expressed its gratitude for the cooperation of the port community, as well as the patience shown by port users during the hours of partial outage.
Port authority statistics indicate that just over four thousand trucking units enter the port daily to pick up or unload merchandise.
In terms of tax collection, the Manzanillo customs office is the second most active in the country , behind only the Nuevo Laredo customs office, Mexico’s most important border crossing with the United States.
