Veracruz, Ver.- As part of its commitment to the development of international trade and the execution of specialized logistics projects, Grupo CICE is participating in the export operation of 782 railcars destined for Saudi Arabia, one of the most significant projects of the year for its Multi-Purpose Terminal located in the South Bay of the Port of Veracruz.
The project, developed for Kuehne + Nagel Forwarding with railcars manufactured by The Greenbrier Companies, Inc., involves the export of tank railcars designed for phosphoric acid transportation and Husky intermodal flatcars for 40-foot containers, representing an estimated total cargo volume of 20,658 metric tons.
The railcars are transported by rail from manufacturing facilities located in Tlaxcala and Ciudad Sahagún to the Port of Veracruz, where Grupo CICE provides a comprehensive range of port handling services. These include the receipt and unloading of the rail equipment, temporary storage within the terminal yards, transfer alongside the vessel, and subsequent loading for ocean transport to Saudi Arabia.
The first shipment consisted of 38 tank railcars, while subsequent sailings are expected to include 30 to 40 railcars per vessel, with an estimated frequency of one operation per week.
With 35 years of experience, celebrated on August 1st, the company continues to place at its customers' service the operational capabilities, infrastructure, and logistics expertise it has developed since 1991 to support projects related to international trade.
Operations such as this reinforce its position as the leading project cargo and oversized cargo stevedoring operator at the Port of Veracruz, supported by extensive experience in handling containers, general cargo, pipes, steel products, agricultural and mineral bulk cargo, as well as freight requiring specialized logistics solutions.
Through projects of this nature, Grupo CICE continues to strengthen its role within global supply chains, connecting Mexican industry with strategic international markets while further consolidating the Gulf of Mexico as a key platform for foreign trade and the movement of specialized cargo.
