The Port of Quetzal, positioned along the Pacific coast, holds the distinction of being the largest Pacific seaport in the region. Its strategic geographical location grants it a significant advantage over other Central American ports, thanks to its proximity to both the Panama Canal and various Mexican ports. This positioning has established it as a crucial international port. Found in the Escuintla district near Puerto San Jose, just 100 km from Guatemala City, it has outshone the San Jose port in the 20th century, becoming the primary hub for maritime activities. Notably, it stands as Guatemala’s first multi-purpose port in the Pacific Ocean.
Operational since 1955, the Port of Santo Tomas de Castilla is situated 295 km from the capital city. It handles diverse cargo types such as dry goods, cruise ships, tankers, and containerized goods. Divided into six distinct zones, including a Cruise Terminal and Container Terminal, the port efficiently manages various cargo categories. With the ability to accommodate vessels up to 230 meters in length and a 10-meter draft, it showcases versatility in handling different vessels and cargo sizes.
Port Barrios is located on the Atlantic coast of Guatemala. Until 1976, it served as the primary Atlantic port. However, after an earthquake caused damage to the nearby town, the construction of the port of Santo Tomas de Castilla took over regional operations. The concrete pier at Port Barrios manages various types of cargo, including containers, liquid bulk, and dry cargo. The pier’s capabilities extend to accommodating cruise ships, containers, tankers, barges, and general cargo vessels. Positioned on the western side, the pier features four berths for vessel docking.
