About This Seaport
Bananas, plantains and chilled produce set the tone in Puerto Barrios, a privately run box terminal on Guatemala's Amatique Bay. The facility offers four berths, roughly 9.5 m of draft and mobile harbour cranes, with annual throughput capacity near 525,000 TEU and expansion plans toward 630,000 TEU. More than 1,100 reefer plugs and a cold store of about 10,620 m² — operated by Chiquita subsidiary COBIGUA — anchor the port's reputation for temperature-controlled cargo, alongside general, dry-bulk and breakbulk handling. Customs clearance runs through Guatemala's SAT authority, while the hinterland is served mainly by road. For full-container services and Pacific-coast routings, nearby Santo Tomás de Castilla and Puerto Quetzal offer practical alternatives. Freight forwarders rely on Puerto Barrios primarily for reefer exports of agricultural goods.
