Port Authority and Alliance to Promote Logistics Corridor in China
"Officials of the Port Authority of San Antonio (formerly Greater Kelly Development Authority), Free Trade Alliance San Antonio, Port of Lázaro Cardenas, Hutchison Port Holdings and transpacific shipping lines will travel to China the first week of April to promote a newly developed logistics corridor for Chinese imports into the U.S. market.
In January of 2006, a collaboration of several logistics entities in the U.S. and Mexico began operation of a new multimodal logistics corridor for Chinese goods entering the U.S. market. The new corridor brings containerized goods from China on either Maersk or CP Ships transpacific service to the Mexican Port of Lázaro Cardenas. There, the containers are off loaded by a new world class terminal operated by Hutchison Ports based in Hong Kong. The containers are loaded onto the Kansas City Southern Railroad de Mexico where they move in-bond into the U.S. The containers clear U.S. customs in San Antonio, Texas and are processed for distribution."
