The Central American Commission of Maritime Transport (COCATRAM) takes pleasure in presenting

to the maritime port community of the Central American Isthmus, the Summary of Maritime Port

Statistics of the Year 2013, as tool of decision-making and research in the subsector.

COCATRAM structures the Statistical Summary in two parts, the first one composed by three

sections: Cargo, Vessels and Containers briefly approaching the principal aspects of port

performance of the Central American region during the year 2013. The second part present annexes

with the statistical tables consolidating the regional information.

The principal source of information is Companies and Port Authorities of the region that compile

their national statistics, through the members of the Central American Maritime and Port Network

Statistics, working since the year 2000 and coordinated by COCATRAM.

The source of information comes from forty-five foreign trade ports, operated by state and private

companies in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The three

sections, that shape the first part of the Summary, present general information related to traffic of

cargo, vessels and containers by port and country. It also considers total volume of foreign trade,

type of cargo and vessels and container size.

In this edition, information related to origin and destination is omitted because usually take longer

to compile and process producing delays in the edition of the summary. In the next months,

COCATRAM will publish a supplementary document with the above-mentioned information.

COCATRAM, Port Operators and Port Authorities of the Central American Isthmus will continue

working together in support of their commitment to accomplish this yearly document, aware of the

great importance that implies.

1. Cargo Throughput

1.1. Cargo throughput by country and port In 2013, the cargo throughput at the Central American region was 134.78 million MT, an increase of 3.4 million MT or 3.3% over 2012. Despite the increase in cargo volume, growth slowed down from previous years when it was

double digit (11.7% for 2010-2011 and 12.1% for 2011-2012). The absolute increase in those periods compared with 2013 was 12.2 million MT in 2010-2011 and 14.0 million MT in 2011-2012.

Chart No.1 Cargo throughput at C.A. by country (Thousands of MT, %), 2013

In 2013, about 75.8 million MT was offloaded along the Central American isthmus, -0.4% less than the year before, while 58.9 million MT was loaded, an increase of 8.7% compared to 2012. When looking at cargo throughput by coast, as in past years, traffic through Caribbean ports (71.9 million MT) was greater than that through Pacific ports (62.9 million MT).

Table 4 below shows a breakdown of the volumes of merchandise imported and exported by

country compared to local maritime cargo handled in Central American ports. As can be seen, 81.8%

of the volume of exports and 74.9% of imports transport their goods through the maritime mode.

Along this line, Guatemala and Honduras are the countries with the greatest share of use of their

ports for international trade, with 90.3% of it going through maritime ports. Costa Rica follows

with 88.1%, while El Salvador and Nicaragua has 54% and 60%, respectively.

Table 4. Volume of foreign trade and cargo throughput at C.A. (Thousands of MT), 2013

The volume of traffic shown in Table 4 does not include transhipping, transit, raw materials and

finished products from free trade zones (maquilas) and cargo of the Colón Free Zone and the

Panama Petroleum Free Zone since these are not either imports or exports. Most of this freight

comes from the Panamanian ports at either end of the canal.

Chart No. 9. Cargo throughput offloaded at C.A. in ports, by type (Thousands of Tm), 2013

Chart No. 10. Cargo throughput loaded at C.A. in ports, by type (Thousands of Tm), 2013

The volume of general cargo offloaded in 2013 was -29.6%, while cargo loading rose by 22.4%. Offloading of containerized cargo dropped by -2.2% and the volume loaded dropped by -0.5%, whereas Ro-Ro cargo offloading dropped by -9.3% and cargo loading by -37.34%. Solid bulk offloading and loading increased by 6.1% and 47.6%, respectively. Liquid bulk loading increased by 28.1% but there was no variation in offloading.

The Atlantic coast handled more containerized cargo than Pacific ports but less solid bulk handled. Bulk liquid throughput was similar on both coasts.

2. Vessel calls

In 2013, 18,254 vessels entered the region’s ports, most of them container ships accounting for

59.7% of the total for a 1.2% increase over the previous year. Additionally, conventional vessel calls

increased by 1.6%, liquid and solid bulk vessels by 21.1% and 10.4%, respectively, oil tankers and

barges by 4.6% and 36.4%, respectively and cruise ships by 2.5%. Reefer vessel calls declined by -

12.8%, while Ro–Ro carriers and gas tankers decreased by -9.5% and -9.2%, respectively.

Cruise vessel calls accounted for 774, 31.90% called in Roatán Cruise Terminals in Honduras, 28.9%

in Costa Rica and 26.5% in Panama. The Home Port Terminal, COLON 2000, Mahogany Bay and

Coxen Hole, received the largest number of vessel calls (91, 85, 166, and 81, respectively), followed

by Puntarenas, Limón-Moín, and Caldera in Costa Rica with 64, 60, and 49 calls, respectively.

Chart No. 12. : Vessel calls at C.A. by type, 2013

The simple average of total cargo volume by number of vessels was around 7,000 tons. Panama kept

the largest average of cargo per vessel with 9,000 MT. The average for Costa Rica and Nicaragua

was 5,000 MT per vessel. Caribbean ports accounted for 6,000 MT per vessel, while Pacific ports had

a figure close to 10,000 MT per vessel.

3. Containers and box/trailer

Port throughput in C.A. reported 5,796,929 containers and box/trailer, equivalent to 9,946,727 Teu.

There was a -3.14% drop in container throughput compared to the previous period. Ports with major

reductions were PPB with -5.8%, CCT with -20.4% and PPC with -15.1%. The highest percentage

increase during the period was PPIT with 131.6%.

Chart No. 13. Container throughput at C.A by port (TEU), 2013

Panamanian ports accounted

for 65.7% of C.A. container

throughput, 12.5% in Costa

Rica and 12.2% in Guatemala,

while Atlantic coast handled

60.0% and 40.0% in the Pacific

coast.

40-foot containers in C.A.

represented 67.8% of all

boxes used in its maritime

trade. The container

empty/full ratio was close to

three, with PPIT standing out
