Reficar, the Cartagena refinery run by Ecopetrol's subsidiary, anchors the industrial waterfront at Mamonal southeast of Cartagena. The port is made up of privately owned industrial and petrochemical berths about five nautical miles from the city harbour, set among an oil refinery, cement works, a fertiliser plant and a petrochemical complex. Cargo here is dominated by liquid and dry bulk, supplemented by general, breakbulk and project shipments through terminals such as Puerto Buenavista. Berths take breakbulk vessels up to roughly 282 m length and 18 m draft, as well as bulk carriers and tankers. Ecopetrol is commissioning a green-hydrogen plant at Reficar — US$28.5 million, up to 800 tonnes/year of 99.99%-purity H₂, preventing approximately 7,700 t/year of CO₂ emissions — with main equipment installed in late 2025 and operations expected in 2026. A separate LNG regasification terminal, a joint project with Sociedad Portuaria Puerto Bahía, is set to begin operations in December 2026 with an initial capacity of 300 GBTUD, strengthening Colombia's natural gas supply. The operator Puerto Mamonal is undergoing a court-supervised reorganisation process, which may temporarily affect its operations. Container liner services are handled at the adjacent Contecar and SPRC terminals in Cartagena proper.
