Vessels carrying dangerous cargoes are exactly what Sint Michiel's Bay is set up to host: the Curaçao Ports Authority operates a single mooring buoy in this sheltered, deep bay 8 km west of Willemstad. It is an anchorage and services point — used for stays with hazardous cargo, underwater hull cleaning and minor repairs — not a cargo-handling terminal. No bunkering plant exists on site; fuel arrives by barge from Willemstad, and fresh water can be supplied. With no cargo berths, there is no conventional hinterland logistics here. For containers and general freight, forwarders rely on the main port of Willemstad (Schottegat).
