Two Companies to Ship Fuels from US to Mexico

(Energy Analytics Institute, Ian Silverman, 11.Aug.2018) – To-date, two oil companies are working to export fuels from the U.S.A. to neighboring Mexico, through the Port of Brownsville.

“Our main client is P.M.I. Comercio Internacional, a subsidiary of Pemex, that’s dedicated to the import and export of hydrocarbons,” reported the daily newspaper El Financiero, citing Port of Brownsville General Director Eduardo Campirano. “But, with the new energy reform, opportunities were opened up.”

Campirano didn’t reveal the identity of the companies, but explained they would receive gasoline and diesel by ship in the Port of Brownsville, and then move the fuels either by truck, rail or pipeline, depending on the final destination of the product in Mexico.

Located in South Texas, the Port of Brownsville is the only deep water port connected directly with Mexico along the southern U.S. border. The port serves as the main marine transport route for steel exported to the northern region of ‘the Aztec nation’.

Sergio Lopez, commission secretary with the Port of Brownsville, said the entity has all the necessary equipment to provide services to private energy companies importing fuels into Mexico.

Together with Canada, Mexico currently consumes almost 90 percent of the steel material exported from the U.S., reported the daily. The Port of Brownsville plays a vital role as a main port in terms of steel shipments to the Latin American country.
