Puerto La Cruz

Navieramar headquarters. Vessel attendance at Puerto La Cruz, José terminal and Guaraguao with 30+ years of experience.

Puerto La Cruz is Venezuela's main oil port and the most important in Latin America. Located in Anzoátegui State, this port complex houses the José Terminal, which processes approximately 70% of the country's crude oil exports. The facilities include cryogenic terminals for LNG and LPG, as well as infrastructure for handling heavy and extra-heavy crude from eastern Venezuelan oil fields.

The city of Puerto La Cruz has historically been the nerve center of Venezuela's oil industry. With over 40 years of uninterrupted operations, the port complex has served more than 15,000 tanker vessels, including VLCC and ULCC supertankers of up to 300,000 gross tons. The facilities feature state-of-the-art loading systems, onshore and subsea storage, and rail and road connections that ensure the constant flow of hydrocarbons to international markets.

Navieramar S.A.'s main office, established in Puerto La Cruz since 1995, provides 24/7/365 shipping agency services. Our strategic location allows us to provide immediate attention to vessels operating at José Terminal, Guaraguao Terminal, and the Cryogenic Terminal, ensuring compliance with all PDVSA requirements, port authorities, and control agencies.
