The Creole Petroleum Corporation laid down storage and a deep-water pier here in 1929, and the first tanker sailed in 1930 carrying 20,000 barrels to Trinidad. It remains an energy and tanker terminal handling crude and petroleum products – not containers or general cargo – with berths 2 and 3 taking vessels of about 230 m LOA, 61,000 DWT and 10.3 m draught.
