Foreword The Central American Maritime Transport Commission (COCATRAM) is pleased to present to the maritime port community of the Central American isthmus this Summary of Maritime Port Statistics for 2010 as a tool for support in decision-making and research in the subsector. This Statistical Summary is structured in two parts, the first with three sections: Cargo, Vessels, and Containers that briefly take up the main aspects of port performance in the Central American region in 2010. The second part contains the annexes with statistical tables that consolidate the regional information. The main sources of information are the Port Companies and Authorities of the region that compile national port statistics through the members of the Central American Network of Maritime Port Statistics that has functioned since 2000, coordinated by COCATRAM. Information is presented from the 40 ports for international service operated by State and private companies in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The three sections making up the first part of the Summary present in a general and commented manner the information related to cargo, vessels, and container traffic in relation to the ports, countries, total volume of foreign trade, type of handling, origin and destination of the cargo by port and geographic region, type of vessel, and container size, among others. Cargo volumes reflected in the origin and destination information, described in this summary does not include transshipment cargo movements. COCATRAM, together with the port companies and authorities of the Central American isthmus, has maintained its commitment to publishing this document, completely aware of its great importance.

Central American Port Statiscal Summary,
1.3
Year 2012
Cargo handled by seaboard
Maritime cargo movement by seaboard in 2012 was similar to what it was in 2011 with the Caribbean representing 52.85% of the total cargo and the Pacific accounting for the remaining 47.15%. Of all cargo offloaded, 53.06% was in Caribbean ports and 46.94% on the Pacific seaboard, while of all the cargo loaded, 56.56% was shipped from the Caribbean side and 47.44% from the Pacific. During 2012, the Caribbean moved 68,906.22 thousand MT, a 12.10% increase over the year before equivalent to 8,399.89 thousand MT. Unloading on that seaboard represented 58.65%, an increase of 19.12% compared to 2011, while loading represented 41.35%, an increase of 2.15%. On the Pacific side, 61,474,43 thousand MT was moved, an increase of 9.25%. This increase, unlike what happened on the Caribbean side, was mainly due to shipments, reaching 22.27% more than the previous year.
