  • Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime Sector in Mexico
    Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime sector in Mexico Commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency Report by Marko Teodosijević - Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime sector in Mexico Investment opportunities in the Port Development Sector Early 2019 Preface In this report current and future business opportunities in the Mexican port development sector are identified. This report is the product of a detailed examination of Mexico’s plans for the development of its ports and maritime sector. The aim of the report is to map business opportunities for Dutch companies that operate in this sector and want to collaborate in Mexico’s sustainable port development programs. It is the objective of the Dutch Embassy to promote a mutually beneficial collaboration between Mexico and The Netherlands in the context of Mexico’s ambitious drive forward in the development of its port and marine sector. Complementary to the available information published by the different governmental institutions, this report includes insights of several stakeholders from the Mexican government and local port authorities. Altogether, the information provided in this report is the product of information gathered from Mexican public institutions combined with information provided by key companies that possess expert knowledge regarding sustainable port development. Firstly, a schematic overview of the institutional port framework will be laid out in order to have a basic understanding of the institutions that have the authority over ports in Mexico and how they are regulated. The agencies in charge of ports will be the primary line of contact for companies who are interested in the development opportunities that will most likely crop up in 2019 and beyond.

Sol 22, Bismark. 29267, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México. *Correspondent: [email protected] Abstract. Information on the spatial ecology of the Tehuantepec jackrabbit (Lepus fl avigularis) is important for developing management strategies to preserve it in its habitat. We radio-collared and monitored 60 jackrabbits from May 2006 to April 2008. We estimated annual and seasonal home ranges and core areas by using the fi xed-kernel isopleth to 95% and 50% of confi dence, respectively. This jackrabbit showed a highly variable seasonal home range: 1.13 ha to 152.61 ha for females and 0.20 ha to 71.87 ha for males. Annual and seasonal home ranges and core areas of females were signifi cantly wider than male home ranges. There was considerable overlap of ranges within and between sexes, with the home range of each jackrabbit overlapping with the ranges of 1 to 46 other individuals. Home range and overlap analysis confi rms that the Tehuantepec jackrabbit is a polygamous and non-territorial species.

  • Administración Portuaria Integral De Salina Cruz, S.A. De C.V
    CUENTA PÚBLICA 2018 ADMINISTRACIÓN PORTUARIA INTEGRAL DE SALINA CRUZ, S.A. DE C.V. INTRODUCCIÓN 1. RESEÑA HISTÓRICA Con una historia que data de principios del siglo pasado, el puerto de Salina Cruz, ha experimentado etapas muy diversas e incluso contrastantes, que se explican fundamentalmente por su ubicación en el extremo occidental nacional, en la franja más angosta del territorio mexicano. Esta característica le ha significado el tomar parte en varios proyectos de gran alcance que se han enfocado en la posibilidad de crear un puente terrestre para canalizar los vigorosos tráficos comerciales interoceánicos a través del llamado “Corredor Transístmico” o del Istmo de Tehuantepec. Durante el porfiriato, en la primera década del siglo pasado, se finalizaron las obras portuarias en ambos extremos del corredor y se inició el proceso de urbanización de Salina Cruz. Sin lugar a duda el principal “rol” que a la fecha ha llegado a desempeñar el Puerto de Salina Cruz en el Sistema Portuario Nacional por su aporte a la actividad económica tiene que ver con su función de distribuidor de petrolíferos en el pacífico. En esta función el puerto se vincula con Puertos como Guaymas, Mazatlán, Lázaro Cárdenas, entre otros puntos que fungen como receptores en el litoral conformando una red o sistema de distribución tierra adentro de combustibles y/o petrolíferos. El puerto de Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, se caracteriza por manejar el tráfico de carga de la región sur y sureste de la República Mexicana que comprende los estados de Oaxaca, Chiapas, Veracruz, Campeche, Tabasco, Puebla, entre otros. Los principales productos que se manejan en esta región son: café, productos químicos, cemento, cerveza, madera, azúcar; asimismo, fertilizante de importación y maíz de cabotaje, los cuales son distribuidos a las zonas de consumo agrícola.
