Tumaco Port drives growth in Colombia's Pacific region

The Port of Tumaco in Nariño recorded a positive balance in the first half of the year, with increased cargo movements that reinforced its role as a key maritime hub for Colombia's Pacific coast. Authorities highlighted the port’s contribution to regional economic dynamism, job creation and improved supply chains for both domestic and export markets.

The national government has earmarked Tumaco as a strategic priority, planning infrastructure upgrades, capacity expansion and modernisation to boost its competitiveness. Expected investments aim to strengthen logistics, attract new commercial opportunities and integrate the port more closely with Pacific‑basin trade, supporting broader development goals for the southwestern region of the country.
