Sinaloa Governor announced tariffs in the port of Mazatlán will now be equal to those of Lázaro Cárdenas.
Media reported yesterday Sinaloa Governor Mario López Valdez saying his government had a problem with tariffs at Mazatlán´s port being double those of the port of Lázaro Cárdenas in Michoacán and that Nissan car company officials had advised him Japan would not permit moving their operation from the Michoacán port to Mazatlán for that reason.
At the press conference, the Governor then announced tariffs in the port of Mazatlán will now be equal to those of Lázaro Cárdenas. The cost will now be competitive for Nissan, and for BMW and Ford motor companies which have also expressed interest in making Mazatlán their port of origin and destination for import and export of their vehicles.
He went on to say he understood that Nissan will reactivate its project to make Mazatlán its main port for import and export of cars, although he did not know what date the company would begin operations.
Today, media reported director of the port, Alfonso Gil Díaz, said he has yet to hear from the Director of the Nissan corporation.
In November, 2014, the Sinaloa government confirmed the Japanese company would use the port of Mazatlán to move 90,000 vehicles annually beginning January, 2015.
Alfonso Gil commented that Nissan is the largest of the car companies interested in operating out of Mazatlán but that Ford has also expressed an interest to move 13,000 vehicles a year. He hoped the port will also attract BMW and Jaguar corporations.
