CMSA sets record rail volume in January

CONTECON Manzanillo (CMSA), a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI), set a record in January when it handled 20,400 TEUs of rail cargo, a 68 percent increase from the same month in 2023. This marks the highest rail throughput in Manzanillo.

CMSA CEO José Antonio Contreras said: "The increased use of rail to receive and dispatch cargo is key for us. We started a growth plan together with customers and Feromex in 2021, which allowed us to gradually increase service volumes and reliability. Last January, we were able to move 23 percent of import cargo by rail and set a record for CMSA and the Port of Manzanillo."
