About This Seaport
Sint Eustatius matters to freight chains for one reason above all: bulk liquid storage. Operated as GTI Statia (formerly NuStar), the facility holds roughly 14 million barrels across about 60 tanks and transships crude and refined products via marine pipelines and ship-to-ship transfer for US, Caribbean and Latin American markets. The anchorage off Oranjestad is an open roadstead rather than a sheltered commercial harbour, and the island has no container or significant general-cargo handling. The small cargo pier, at only about 3.4 m depth, mainly serves island supply, and routine customs clearance for commercial container freight is effectively absent. For tanker and petroleum cargo, Statia is a specialised transfer point; for containers and breakbulk, Sint Maarten or St. Kitts are the practical alternatives.
