CENTRAL AMERICAN COMMISION FOR MARITIME TRANSPORTATION

CENTRAL AMERICAN PORTS STATISTICAL SUMMARY, YEAR 2020 Presentation The Central American Commission for Maritime Transportation (COCATRAM) is pleased to present the 2020 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 comprised of three sections, specifically Cargo, Vessels and Containers, which briefly approach key aspects of port performance in the Central American region during 2020. The second part features appendixes containing statistical tables that strengthen information at the regional level. The information contained in this document comes from forty-eight 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 Statistical Summary feature general information and comments on cargo, vessels and container traffic by port and country, including total volume of foreign trade, cargo-type handling, vessel type, and size of containers, among others. The main source of information of this summary is based on official information provided by port authorities and operators in the Central American region in charge of gathering national port statistics through the members of the REMARPOR, in place since year 2000, and which is coordinated by COCATRAM. Data about regional foreign trade were obtained from official websites of each country's entity in charge of this area. In the case of Nicaragua, the information was from the Central American Statistical Information System of the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration, (SIECA in Spanish). The information contained in this report is updated to October 2021, corresponding to the port movement of the year 2020. It is important to note that this information can be found in greater detail and updated as official sources record it in the Central American Maritime Port Statistical Information System (SIEMPCA): http://www.cocatram.org.ni/estadisticas/. COCATRAM, together with the port authorities and terminal operators in the Central American Isthmus have reaffirmed their commitment to prepare this document fully aware of the great importance it has. Should you have any comment regarding the information herein contained, please contact COCATRAM Statistical Unit at mocampo@cocatram.org.ni.

1.3 Cargo throughput handled by coast This year the Caribbean coast handled 53% of the total cargo carried through the region, increasing by 3% when compared with the previous year. Such increase was particularly based on the 8% increase in embarked cargo. The remaining 47% of the cargo was handled through the Pacific coast, increasing by 5% when compared with 2019 figures. This increase is based on positive variances in both operations, namely disembarked cargo by 6% and embarked cargo by 5%.

CENTRAL AMERICAN PORTS STATISTICAL SUMMARY, YEAR 2020 During the period under review, cruise arrival was predominantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; consequently, it brought this type of vessels to a halt as of the second quarter of 2020. Consequently, some ports, including Cortés, Caldera and Puntarenas reported cruise vessels arrivals after the first quarter of the year, but they did not require berthing service because they only arrived for refueling/resupplying purposes or to repatriate vessels crew or passengers who were not able to continue the pleasure trip.

Containers and Trucks Chart No. 26 Central American Isthmus: Containers throughput by operation, TEU, years 2019-2020

In 2020, containers and trucks throughput totaled 6,683,273 units from different sizes, equivalent to 11,910,856 TEU, increasing by 2%. Containers handled in the region added up to 39.8% and decreased by 6% when compared with the previous year figures, while transshipment trade ran to 59.4% and in-transit containers came to 0.8%.

In connection with performance by country during the period under review, Panama totaled 65% of TEU handling; thus, increasing around 5%; however, it showed a decrease in containers throughput in the region, decreasing by 19%. Handling of containers in Panama was divided in 90% for transshipment containers and 10% local containers. In turn, Guatemala and Costa Rica, each one, handled 13% of the containers. In the case of Guatemala, 91% accounted for foreign trade, 5% in-transit and 4% for transshipment containers; while for Costa Rica, foreign trade containers totaled 96%, in-transit containers 1% and transshipment containers by 2%. On the other hand, container throughput in Honduras added up to 6% of all the containers handled at the Central American level, decreasing by 11%, while this percentage in El Salvador ran to 2%, decreasing by 8%, and Nicaragua handled less than 2% of the containers in the region.

CENTRAL AMERICAN PORTS STATISTICAL SUMMARY, YEAR 2020 4

Projection and forecast of cargo throughput

For the second consecutive year, COCATRAM included a new section as a result of collaboration provided by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) that shared the most relevant criteria to project and forecast maritime statistics as shown in their annual publication titled Review of Maritime Transport (RMT). The addition of this section in the Statistical Summary contributes to support global maritime statistical efforts since the homologation of processes and criteria represent a key element in the facilitation of foreign trade. Chart No.30 shows maritime cargo volumes by handling type observed in foreign trade traffic in the Central American region during the 2010 – 2020 period and a projection for 2021, but without considering the consequences caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. It also includes a forecast for 2022. This projection and forecast are possible thanks to the assistance provided by Juan Echeverría, REMARPOR honorary advisor, who selflessly and voluntarily contributed to improving information presented in this document.
