Abstract: Abstract The deliberalisation of ports in Mexico has allowed the perfect environment to invest in port services. From fully private to fully public-financed infrastructure, Mexican ports have increased their performance, infrastructure, and connections for the sake of international trade. Three types of concessions have been established in order to follow the dynamics of maritime trade and to offer port services with international standards while increasing the development of ports. Port services in Mexico are offered by private companies through transfer of rights (cession). This scheme allows the private sector to assume the risks it can assume while increasing public financing of ports through the fees paid by contractors in exchange for their exclusive exploitation rights.
