# Playa De Guayanilla (PRGUY)

**UN/LOCODE:** PRGUY  
**Country:** Puerto Rico  
**Water Body:** Caribbean Sea; North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Medium  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 18.0167, -66.7667

Roughly 17 million tonnes of cargo across some 570 vessel calls a year move through Guayanilla, almost all of it petroleum, chemicals and liquefied gas rather than containers. The harbour sits on Puerto Rico's south coast, about 7.5 nautical miles west of Ponce in the municipality of Peñuelas, and is rated the island's largest hurricane refuge. Deep-draught tankers berth in the Tallaboa sector, and the EcoEléctrica LNG import terminal at Peñuelas holds a storage tank of around 160,000 cubic metres feeding a 540 MW power plant on gas shipped from Trinidad and Tobago. In December 2024 Crowley inaugurated a new LNG loading terminal here, set to deliver more than 94 million gallons a year into ISO containers for over-the-road distribution across the island. The site succeeds the former Commonwealth Oil Refining Company petrochemical complex and remains geared to bulk liquids and energy products. Containerised and general cargo are essentially not handled here, so San Juan serves as Puerto Rico's principal box gateway while nearby Ponce offers general-cargo options.
