Port of Topolobampo is located in the northwestern state of Sinaloa. It serves as a key commercial and industrial hub just 200 miles from the entrance to the Gulf of California and provides seamless connectivity to the United States through cities like Nogales and Mexicali to the north, and to Los Mochis, Culiacán, and Mazatlán in the south. Its strategic position also facilitates the movement of goods to and from the eastern U.S. via two major railway lines, with comprehensive road links connecting it to the rest of Mexico.
Topolobampo plays a crucial role in supporting Sinaloa’s agricultural output and coastal shipping operations, facilitating the movement of general cargo, fuel, and passenger transport between Sinaloa and Baja California Sur. The port’s core business activities focus on the handling of oil and its derivatives (diesel and gasoline), along with general cargo, mineral bulk, and agricultural bulk.
Additionally, the port is a major transportation hub for ferry passengers traveling along Mexico’s Pacific coast, including routes to and from Baja California Sur.
Guided by its 2022-2027 Port Development Master Program, Topolobampo has initiated various infrastructure projects with a focus on environmental sustainability and the adoption of new technologies. The port is also exploring new business opportunities, such as the development of a cruise ship industry.
