> Mexico's 2013 energy reform opened its fuel market to foreign investment and imports of gasoline and diesel. US companies, including Savage Companies and Koch Supply & Trading with Vopak Mexico, are building rail- and marine-served terminals to handle growing US fuel shipments. Savage's central Mexico transload terminal began operations in January 2018.
