About This Seaport
On the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo, San Lorenzo grew up around oil: in 1917 Caribbean Petroleum opened a refinery here for the Mene Grande field, and the first notable exports of Venezuelan crude left from its terminal. The site has remained an oil facility rather than a container or general-cargo port. Its channel of about 11 m can take tankers, but reliable present-day throughput figures are hard to verify given the state of Venezuela's oil sector — significant cargo capability is not confirmed. No containerised or general freight moves through San Lorenzo. For that, Maracaibo and the terminals around Bajo Grande and Puerto Miranda are the practical options, with the Paraguaná refinery ports handling petroleum products.
