The company Terminal Marítima Mazatlán (TMAZ) , operator of the multipurpose terminal located in the port of Sinaloa -west coast of Mexico-, has an arduous, but not impossible task: to manage the constant pace of growth that is currently present in its different lines of business after 12 tireless years of operations.
For this reason, it has defined the direction that its strategic plan will take for the next five years under four fundamental pillars: Growth, Profitability, Quality-Safety and Sustainability .
“Our corporate is confident in the terminal’s growth and in everything we have done, so that in the coming years we can include sustainable investments within our 2030 strategy,” says Mauricio Ortiz, general manager of TMAZ, in an interview with T21, who confirms that they have built an ambitious five-year investment scheme for renovation and growth in civil works, equipment and systems for 37.4 million dollars.
The terminal’s operating results support the executive. In the first 10 months of this year, this multipurpose terminal, belonging to SAAM Terminals , has shown a growth of +28% in tons in the transfer of goods, compared to the same period in 2023; in containers there has been an expansion of +15% (boxes), a +14% increase in vehicles (units) and a +55% growth in the handling of loose cargo (tons).
These numbers have been achieved through the various business tactics that TMAZ has implemented with its clients, such as providing storage space within a bonded area for some imported goods, which becomes a cost saving and a competitive advantage among the terminals on the Mexican Pacific coast. Today, the average stay of goods at the terminal is around 20 days.
TMAZ offers its clients the opportunity to dispatch merchandise with this time flexibility thanks to its infrastructure, which today totals six inspected warehouses with more than 20 thousand square meters each , where the security offered by its certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) is also added.
