Mega Piers

The latest additions to the Port of Willemstad are the two mega (cruise) terminals, located at the Otrobanda seaside, West of the St. Anna Bay harbor entrance. These dedicated facilities consist of two concrete jetties that can accommodate the latest generation large cruise vessels.

The terminal offers excellent bunkering facilities and plenty of terminal space, including a covered reception area, bus and taxi terminals. These facilities also make this pier attractive for all other vessel types, including mobilization and demobilization of big Drilling rigs and related Oil & Gas projects. The terminal is also used for temporary repairs, underwater surveys and cleaning, change of ownership, etc.
