GERONIMO ANTONIO, Victor Manuel y RUIZ SANTIAGO, Lorena Ivette. Use of infrastructure and productivity at the port of Veracruz in Mexico, 2002-2020. Anál. econ. [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.94, pp.201-220. Epub 08-Abr-2022. ISSN 2448-6655. https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/azc/dcsh/ae/2022v37n94/geronimo.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the use of dock infrastructure and productivity at the port of Veracruz in Mexico for the period 2002-2020. With the use of proposed methodology by Mexican Institute of Transport (IMT), this article analyzes the port indicators for ship-port interface. The results indicate that there was an increase in the intensity of use and occupancy at the docks, this suggests that improved the port efficiency; in addition, there is an increase in the productivity of loading and unloading over the period analyzed. However, the port of Veracruz shows a stagnation in maritime transport connectivity and reached a saturation point during the years 2017 and 2018. Likewise, the ships spent between 35% and 45% of port turnaround times to non-productive activities, which is explained by congestion at the docks and users’ decisions.
