NAVIGATING NUCLEAR ENERGY IN MARITIME

Synopsis. The Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) is a 303–308 km multimodal trade and logistics route connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, designed to boost southern Mexico’s economy and serve as an alternative to the Panama Canal.

The CIIT is a strategic infrastructure project in southern Mexico linking the ports of Salina Cruz (Pacific Ocean) and Coatzacoalcos (Gulf of Mexico) via a modernized railway system, highways, and industrial parks, covering 79 municipalities across Oaxaca and Veracruz, with extensions toward Chiapas and Tabasco.

Its primary goals are to facilitate international trade, attract private investment, industrialize the historically underdeveloped south, and provide a faster, cost-effective alternative to the Panama Canal, especially during periods of low water levels.
