About This Seaport
Coal, bananas, coffee and containers all move across the quays of Santa Marta, the multipurpose terminal that handles Colombia's third-largest cargo volume. Carbosan runs the coal operation with a direct ship-loading system rated around 2,200 tonnes per hour, exporting several million tonnes of thermal coal a year. The container side is managed by SMITCO, a joint venture with SSA International, using Post-Panamax ship-to-shore gantries and RTG yard cranes. Naturally deep berths — among the deepest on Colombia's Caribbean coast — let the port receive large bulk carriers and Panamax boxships. Hinterland cargo reaches Bogotá and the Magdalena valley by road, with customs cleared through Colombia's DIAN authority. For shippers needing dense container line coverage, Cartagena and Barranquilla remain the practical alternatives nearby.
