About This Seaport
Around 4.5 million tonnes of cargo and roughly 156,000 TEU pass through Acajutla each year, making it El Salvador's principal Pacific seaport, in the department of Sonsonate. Operated by the state port authority CEPA in partnership with terminal operator Yilport, it handles containers, dry bulk such as grain and minerals, liquid bulk and reefer cargo across five berths, with a quay depth near 11 metres suited to mid-size container vessels. Coffee, raw sugar and petroleum products dominate the trade profile. An ongoing modernisation programme, including a new container yard, is gradually lifting throughput capacity. Hinterland distribution runs almost entirely by road, as El Salvador no longer operates significant freight rail, with San Salvador about 85 km inland. Shippers needing higher-capacity Pacific calls can route via Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala or Corinto in Nicaragua.
