Abstract

Since the starting of the process of commercial opening, initiated in the last decades of the 20th century, ports gradually modified their functions and forms of modal, logistic and territorial articulation to respond to the imperatives of geographical reach and efficiency demanded by increasingly globalized productive chains. In this sense, this work analyzes the position and the role of the container ports at the Mexican Pacific in the context of the formation of a global multimodal transport network that conditions and determines their destination. From a conceptual perspective based on the space of Castellian flows and the territory of Veltz’ networks, it is evaluated the possibility of consolidating concentrating ports at the Mexican Pacific which articulate flows not only to and from Mexico, but also those that have their origin or destination at other countries in the region, thus promoting its relevance as key port nodes connecting multimodal transport chains at national and continental levels.
