CENTRAL AMERICAN PORTS STATISTICAL SUMMARY, YEAR 2016

Acknowledgements The Central American Maritime Transport Commission (COCATRAM) is pleased to present the 2016 Summary of Maritime Port Statistics to the maritime port community of the Central American Isthmus, to be used as a decision-making and research tool in the subsector. COCATRAM has arranged this Statistical Summary in two parts; the first one is made up of three sections, namely Cargo, Vessels and Containers. It briefly approaches key aspects of port performance in the Central American region in year 2016. The second part features appendixes containing statistical tables that strengthen information at the regional level. The information contained in this document stems from forty-five international service ports operated by both state-owned and private companies in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The three sections that comprise the first part of the summary feature general information and comments on cargo, vessels and container traffic by port and country, including total volume of foreign trade, type of cargo handling, vessels, and container sizes, among others. The main source of information of this summary is based on official information provided by port authorities and operators in the region in charge of gathering national port statistics through the members of the Central American Maritime Ports Statistics Network (REMARPOR in Spanish), in place since year 2000, and coordinated by COCATRAM. Data on regional foreign trade were obtained from official websites of each countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entity in charge of this area. Similarly, cruise ship traffic information in Honduras was obtained by the collaboration of the Honduran Institute of Tourism, to which we do express our warmest thanks. The information contained in this report is updated to August 2017, and it covers calendar year 2016. However, it is subject to future updates to be made as information from official sources of member countries is provided. More details on port throughput statistics can be found in the Central American Maritime Port Statistical Information System (SIEMPCA), which website address is detailed below: http://www.cocatram.org.ni/estadisticas/ COCATRAM, together with the port authorities and terminal operators of the Central American Isthmus, have reaffirmed their commitment to prepare this document fully aware of its great importance. Should you have any comment regarding the information herein contained, please contact COCATRAM Statistical Unit at: marliocampo@cocatram.org.ni
