3 entral American Ports Statistical Summary, Year 2015 Acknowledgements The entral American Maritime Transport ommission (OATRAM) takes pleasure in presenting to the maritime port community of the entral American Isthmus, the Summary of Maritime Port Statistics for year 2015, as a decision making and research tool for the subsector. This Statistical Summary is structured in two parts; the first one is made up of three sections: argo, Vessels, and ontainers that briefly address key aspects of port performance in the entral American region in The second part presents appendixes with statistical tables consolidating information at the regional level. Information contained in this document stems from forty five international service ports operated by state owned and private companies in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, osta Rica and Panama. The three sections that comprise the first part of the summary present general information and comments on cargo, vessels and container traffic by port and country, as well as the total volume of foreign trade, type of cargo handling, vessel, and container size, 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 entral American Maritime Ports Statistics Network (REMARPOR in Spanish) which has been in place since 2000, and it is coordinated by OATRAM. Data on regional foreign trade were obtained from official websites of each country s entity in charge of this area. Similarly, in Honduras cruise ship traffic information was obtained through cooperation provided by the Honduran Institute of Tourism, to which we do reiterate our thanks. The information contained in this report is updated to July 2016 and it covers calendar year 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 entral American Maritime Port Statistical Information System (SIEMPA) website: OATRAM, together with the port authorities and terminal operators of the entral American Isthmus, have maintained their commitment to prepare this document fully aware of its great importance.

23 entral American Ports Statistical Summary, Year argo throughput by type In 2015, containerized cargo reported a slight decrease totaling a volume of 71.6 million MT. Such figure was similar to the one reported the previous year, specifically 71.7 million MT. 58.9% of the cargo was handled in the aribbean coast and 41.1% was handled in the Pacific coast. In 2013, this segment of cargo handling accounted for 51.6%, in 2014 it was 50.4%, and in 2015 it was 47.3%. Port traffic of liquid bulk cargo accounted for 36.1% of.a. total, with 54.6 million MT during the period. It experienced a slight increase of 20.0% compared to Of the total of liquid bulk cargo, 48.4% was handled in the aribbean coast and the remaining 51.6% in the Pacific coast. onversely, solid bulk cargo handling accounted for 12.8%, with 19.3 million MT. Such figure is similar to the one reported the previous year. Most of the solid bulk cargo was handled in the Pacific coast, which accounted for 12.0 million MT, representing 61.9% of the cargo handled in the region. The volume of general cargo accounted for 2.4% of the total. In absolute values, an increase of 3.2% was observed when compared to the previous period. The Roll on Roll off cargo, which was less than 1% of the types of cargo handling decreased in 39.7% when compared to the previous period. 53.1% of the cargo handled in the Atlantic coast was containerized, and the 33.3% accounted for liquid bulk cargo. On the other hand, containerized cargo handled in the Pacific coast was 40.8%. 39.1% accounted for liquid bulk, 16.6% were solid bulk, and general cargo represented 2.6%. Handling of Ro Ro cargo is slightly higher in the Pacific coast, with a 0.4%, thus totaling 290,000 MT in the period. Upon reviewing the types of cargo handling by country, it was observed that more than half of the volume of cargo handled in Panama and in osta Rica (53.1% and 61.1% respectively) was containerized cargo. Around 35% of the cargo handled in Honduras and in Guatemala was containerized cargo, while in Nicaragua and in El Salvador it accounted for 25%.

In Panama, it was observed that transshipping of containers and liquid bulk cargo played a key role. As a result, Panamanian ports handled the largest volumes of this type of cargo. On the other hand, in osta Rica it was observed that cargo is distributed as its national economy develops, which affects containerized cargo received by Nicaragua. The largest volume of general cargo was handled in Guatemala (42.4%), followed by osta Rica (22.5%) and Honduras (11.7%). The largest amount of containerized cargo was handled in Panama (63.4%), followed by osta Rica (13.1%) and Guatemala (12.9%). The largest volumes of Ro Ro cargo were handled in Panama (51.0%), followed by osta Rica with 20.2%, and Guatemala 17.1%. In relation to solid bulk, most of this cargo was handled in Guatemala (48.7%), followed by Honduras (17.1%), osta Rica with 12.5%, El Salvador with 10.6% and the rest was equally distributed among the rest of the countries of the entral American region, around 5%. onversely, liquid bulk cargo was particularly handled in Panama with 70.6%, followed by Guatemala with 10.2%, Honduras with 6.7%, osta Rica with 4.8%, El Salvador with 4.4%, and Nicaragua with 3.3%.
