Logged under UN/LOCODE BQGOT, the Goto Oil Terminal on Bonaire's northwest coast is a petroleum storage and transfer facility — not a general-cargo or container port. Run as BOPEC (Bonaire Petroleum Corporation) and owned by Venezuela's PDVSA, it has stored and blended refined and unrefined oils from Venezuela and the Curaçao and Aruba refineries since 1975. Its deep pier 1 can take tankers up to roughly 500,000 DWT, while pier 2 handles up to about 80,000 DWT. Operations have largely stalled in recent years amid PDVSA's insolvency and sanctions, with only occasional clearance liftings. There is no conventional hinterland network; the site is built purely for seaborne oil transfer. For breakbulk and container needs on Bonaire, Kralendijk is the reference, with Curaçao covering regional petroleum throughput.
