About This Seaport
On the western shore of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela's Zulia state, Bajo Grande (UN/LOCODE VE BJV) operates as a crude-oil and tanker terminal rather than a general-cargo port. The facility is formed by several platforms linked into a concrete island with two tanker berths, while a separate natural-gas-liquids jetty lies about one nautical mile to the south. It handles crude oil, refined products, fuel oils and diesel; containers and breakbulk are not part of its trade. Only around 80 vessels call each year, with vessel size limited by the lake's roughly 12 m channel depth. Operations depend heavily on Venezuela's PDVSA-run oil sector and are exposed to US sanctions and fluctuating export volumes. Shippers needing container or general-cargo handling in western Venezuela are better served by Maracaibo or Puerto Cabello.
