# Acajutla Offshore Terminal (SV AQJ)

**UN/LOCODE:** SV AQJ  
**Country:** El Salvador  
**Water Body:** North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** 13.5833, -89.8667

Listed under UN/LOCODE SV AQJ and also known as the El Paso Terminal, this offshore facility lies about 1.9 km off Acajutla on El Salvador's Pacific coast. Tankers berth at a five-point conventional buoy mooring in open roadstead, with two subsea pipelines of 18 and 12 inches carrying heavy fuel oil and diesel/jet fuel respectively to onshore storage tanks. Water depth at the mooring is around 17 metres, allowing larger product tankers to discharge. The terminal handles no containers or general cargo; that role belongs to the neighbouring Port of Acajutla. A floating LNG regasification unit nearby complements the site's energy infrastructure. Shippers with dry or containerised cargo should use Acajutla itself, while regional petroleum calls can alternatively route via Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala.
