Barcadera

The revamped port of Barcadera came back into operation in 2015. It’s primarily a container and bulk cargo (transshipment) terminal, but it’s also used for other vessels and projects. The port features a new gantry crane and a mobile crane. 

Caribbean Port Agencies, part of the Dammers Group of Companies, was the first agent to use the new Barcadera facilities for mobilization/demobilization of a big oil & gas project, from March to November 2015.
