Roughly 190 vessels a year and some 95,000 barrels of daily refining capacity define Talara, the seaport serving Petroperú's modernised refinery on Peru's northern Pacific coast. The port mainly handles crude from offshore fields, petroleum products, LPG, solid products and a limited volume of general cargo, with two piers working tankers and part of the traffic moved by lighterage. Container liner services are effectively absent: Talara is an energy and general-cargo port, not a box terminal. The Piura-region hinterland is reached by road, and exports include asphalt and refined products. For containers and project cargo in northern Peru, the nearby Port of Paita is the natural choice, while the Bayóvar terminal handles bulk.
