Previously, customers in Mexico had to purchase energy through Pemex – but now, they can acquire commodities on the market through their own resources. The port is also a major transshipment center for liquid products like premium gasoline, diesel, jet fuels and lubricants, before being transported to final destinations across Mexico.

The Port of Brownsville is the closest deep-water port to Mexico’s industrial center in Monterrey – more than 100 miles closer than the nearest Mexican port, saving shippers time and money with direct access to many area factories. Steel is a large and significant mainstay in Brownsville, where the port is the major gateway for steel into Mexico, moving more than three million short tons of steel commodities per year.
