Navy Secures Drifting Section of Tuxpan’s ‘El Atracadero’ Off Alvarado

Local officials say the recovered module is now under Navy custody at the Alvarado pier for inspection.

Overview

  • The floating seafood restaurant was torn from its mooring on October 10 when the Tuxpan River overflowed during heavy rains linked to Priscilla and Raymond.
  • Fishermen spotted a module about 8 kilometers offshore between Alvarado and Antón Lizardo before SEMAR personnel towed it to the Alvarado pier.
  • Authorities confirm the find represents only part of the original structure and the remaining sections have not been located.
  • Reports differ on how far the module traveled, with estimates ranging from roughly 260 to about 300 kilometers, as viral videos documented both the loss and recovery.
  • Government agencies report roughly 40 municipalities affected with 22 prioritized, and road crews continue reopenings and repairs across the region.
