Next season will see 90 ports of call for cruise ships visiting Mazatlán.
Alfonso Gil Diaz, Director of Mazatlán’s Port Authority, said that for the first four months of this year cargo handling at the city’s port is up 15 percent over the same period last year. Major import items include wood and sheet rolls for the canning industry. Chickpeas and seafood lead in the area of exports.
He noted that chickpea exports this year are up three fold over the same period last year.
For next year Alfonso Gil said that so far Holland American, Norwegian, Princess, and Carnival
Cruise Lines have added Mazatlán on their lists of ports of call for the 2014-2015 season.
He said, “Next season will be fine with 90 ports of calls for Mazatlán, which will mean income for us (the Port Authority), but with even greater benefit for the people of Mazatlán.”
He added they are still working with other cruise lines to increase the number of cruise ships docking in Mazatlán.
