Information About Altamira Port (History, Economy & Trade)
The port of Altamira is on the north-central shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The port is the industrial and economic center for the regions in the country and the state of Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Coahuila, etc.
The city of Altamira was established in the 18th Century by Don Jose de Escandon. However, the deep-water Port of Altamira was founded in the 1980s when the federal government needed to expand the Port of Tampico, about 24 km north of Tampico. The port of Altamira was to supplement the cargo traffic handled by the port of Tampico.
Today, the Port of Altamira handles petroleum, sugar, LNG, copper, coffee, hides, and containerized cargo. It carries around 1550 ships and 12,185,000 tonnes of cargo.
