Puerto Cabello

Vessel operations at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela's second largest port with specialized terminals.

Puerto Cabello is Venezuela's second most important port and one of the most active in the Caribbean. Located in Carabobo State, this multimodal port combines oil, chemical, petrochemical, and general cargo terminals in a single port complex. El Palito refinery, connected to the port, processes medium crudes and produces derivatives that are exported through the different specialized terminals.

The port facilities at Puerto Cabello include El Palito Terminal (crude and products), Pequiven (petrochemicals), Ocamar (containers), Terquimca (chemicals), Vopak (storage), and Bolipuertos facilities. This diversity allows serving everything from VLCC supertankers to container ships and bulk carriers, with a total capacity exceeding 30 million tons annually. The port features rail services connecting to the central region of the country and the Valencia industrial corridor.

Navieramar has maintained a permanent office in Puerto Cabello since 2004, offering specialized services at each terminal in the complex. Our experience ranges from tanker agency at El Palito to chemical and petrochemical cargo coordination at the specialized terminals. We have in-depth knowledge of the specific procedures of each terminal and the authorizations required by different control agencies.
