Power outage disrupts Veracruz custom operations: Media sources on July 31 report that the port of Veracruz, Mexico (MX VER) has suspended all custom operations due to a persistent power outage since July 29. The power outage forced reliance on limited mobile inspection units before a complete halt at 03:14 local time on July 30. Emergency generators were shut down later that day to avoid equipment failure and port yards were closed at 14:30 local time to manage truck congestion. The outage has caused major delays in import and export operations with truck queues and delays of over 10 hours. Operational disruptions are expected to continue until the power is fully restored.
