Guaymas is one of the main Mexican ports in the Pacific, located 300 miles south of AZ. It currently handles bulk loads but doesn’t have a container terminal. Since the region has a strong manufacturing presence, the government has unsuccessfully tried to promote the service in the past.
This new effort in coordination with the Port Authority and industry will analyze, from the customers’ perspective, the benefits of having a container terminal.
The objectives of the study is to determine under what scenarios the industry of Sonora and Arizona would benefit with a regular container service in the Port of Guaymas started a regular container service; extrapolate the potential demand that companies in Sonora might have of the Port of Guaymas based on the results from the previous analysis; and to use it as a marketing tool for the Guaymas Port and the region.
Main Pacific Ports
To achieve this, the project activities are programmed as the following:
- Identify representative products for targeted companies
- Identify relevant logistics networks, service levels and performance metrics
- Map supply chain activities with particular emphasis on transportation decisions
- Historical analysis of performance metrics
- Identify current and most likely containers routes, infrastructure and associated levels of service
- Assessment of the impact of a container service in Guaymas on performance metrics of the Company
- Estimate potential demand for the port of Guaymas based on the results of extrapolation.
With the study information, is expected that the Port Authority, Shipping Lines, Terminal Operators, Freight Forwarders, Customers, etc; would have grounds to make decisions and promote the establishment of the container service at Guaymas.
