All Mexican oil and petrochemicals ports reopened to shipping early Wednesday after a 48-hour closure by bad weather, the Ministry of Communications and Transportation reported.
The petrochemicals port of Altamira was closed by high winds and heavy seas, as were the crude-loading ports of Dos Bocas, Cayo Arcas and Pajaritos, which also ships petrochemicals. All are on the Gulf Coast.
The stormy conditions were provoked by a seasonal cold front that swept through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec from the Gulf to Salina Cruz, Mexico's only Pacific Coast oil port.
On Tuesday, Altamira reopened but all the others remained closed until Wednesday morning.
