Its three berths handle around 850,000 tonnes a year across roughly 690 vessel calls, of which about half are tankers. The port is also the terminus of the trans-Ecuadorian SOTE crude pipeline: the nearby Balao terminal and single buoy moorings load crude and Petroecuador products onto tankers up to 100,000 dwt.
