Petroleum products, LPG and bulk imports are the cargoes that define Puerto Yabucoa on Puerto Rico's southeastern coast. The man-made harbour and channel centre on the Buckeye Caribbean Terminals tank farm — formerly Shell, and before that the Puerto Rico Sun Oil refinery — with 44 tanks and more than 4 million barrels of storage for blending, transshipment and terminalling. The port moves roughly 830,000 tonnes of cargo across about 250 vessels a year, served by a deep-water tanker dock and a barge berth, plus some breakbulk. No regular container line service operates here. Road links connect Yabucoa to the island network. Containerised freight for Puerto Rico is handled at San Juan, with Ponce as a southern bulk alternative.
