Cuba Dispatch: Coast Guard stops a Cuba-bound fuel shipBackground
The Port of Progreso is Yucatán's main commercial port on Mexico's Gulf coast. ASIPONA Progreso, the National Port System Administration for Progreso, administers it under the Secretariat of the Navy. Mexico's federal port system assigns administration to ASIPONA Progreso rather than Progreso's municipal government.
The port handles commercial cargo and cruise traffic for the peninsula, combining freight and passenger functions. Its location at Progreso gives Yucatán a maritime gateway on The Gulf of Mexico. Federal administration also makes it a site where Mexican maritime authorities can receive and inspect vessels. Official and local sources also use Puerto Progreso for the port.
