About This Seaport
Roughly nine piers strung along the Caroní near its confluence with the Orinoco give Puerto Ordaz its industrial backbone, anchored by CVG Ferrominera Orinoco's iron-ore, pellet and briquette exports. The surrounding city of Ciudad Guayana hosts much of Venezuela's heavy industry — steel (Sidor/Ternium), aluminium (Venalum, Alcasa, Bauxilum) and carbon products (Carbonorca) — feeding raw and finished goods across the quays. Vessels of up to about 100,000 dwt berth here, with some 240 ships a year navigating the Orinoco to and from the Atlantic via Boca Grande. The port's focus is firmly on bulk and industrial cargo rather than container liner services. Hinterland access combines road, rail and the Orinoco itself as a waterway. Containerised shipments are better served by Puerto Cabello or La Guaira, while Guanta and Puerto la Cruz offer further Caribbean-coast options.
