The Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) aims to implement a multimodal logistics platform that integrates the services provided by the National Port System Administrations of Coatzacoalcos, Salina Cruz, Dos Bocas, and Puerto Chiapas, interconnected through rail transport via the Isthmus of Tehuantepec Railway. It also includes the acquisition, development, subdivision, commercialization, concession, awarding, and, when applicable, disposal of the properties comprising its assets.
