Mexico reopened one of its three major oil-exporting ports in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday as bad weather eased.The port of Coatzacoalcos reopened but the other two major oil-exporting ports, Cayo Arcas and Dos Bocas, remained closed, Mexico's government said, Reuters reports. The three ports had been closed since Wednesday because of a cold front.
Mexico's state oil monopoly Pemex on Friday said the port closures had prevented it from exporting 1.5 million barrels of crude this week.
Mexico ships about 80 percent of the crude oil it exports to the United States through those three ports.
