Puerto Cabo Blanco (UN/LOCODE PECAB) is a small, sheltered cove about 40 kilometres north of Talara in Peru's Piura oil region, known internationally far more as a legendary marlin-fishing village than as a freight port. The official port of entry for foreign vessels is not Cabo Blanco itself but nearby Talara, where pilotage is compulsory. Offshore sits a CBM single-point mooring with four buoys and a submarine pipeline that has historically been used to export crude oil from the surrounding fields, though whether it remains active today is not confirmed. Locally, small open fishing boats dominate the waterfront, running artisanal operations without industrial cold-chain or export infrastructure for ocean freight. For containerised cargo and larger crude shipments, Talara's refinery and deep-water port are the practical option in the region, with Paita further south handling container traffic.
