Run by interests tied to Venezuela's cement industry, Puerto Chichiriviche on the Falcón coast is a limestone and cement loading point rather than a general-cargo gateway. The site sits about 20 nautical miles west of Puerto Cabello and mainly moves limestone destined for regional cement production around Cumarebo. Liner container services and conventional breakbulk handling are not confirmed here; the facility is geared to bulk and industrial logistics. Shelter is limited by the open coastal setting, and hinterland access is by road. Shippers needing containers, reefer or breakbulk capacity in northern Venezuela typically rely on Puerto Cabello, the country's principal container port, or La Guaira.
