Puerto Bahía99.97% ownership
Sociedad Portuaria Puerto Bahía is a state-of-the-art multimodal maritime terminal in Colombia, privileged with its strategic location in the heart of the Cartagena Bay. Puerto Bahía’s assets under operation position the port as a strategic partner for both the liquid bulk and dry cargo industries.
Ideal operation hub: premier location reduces vessel, truck transit time and carbon footprint. Free trade zone located 20hr away from Panama Canal
No draft Restriction: Cartagena’s bay deep waters (16-19m) allow entrance of PostPanamax vessels with no dredging required
Continuous Operation: Natural sheltered water, with the closest port to bay access (low vessel trafic and maneuvering time)
Hinterland Connection: proximity to Canal del Dique, granting easy access to the Magdalena river, which connects the Caribian Coast to major cities like Bogota and Medellin. Immediate access to major highways
Puerto Bahia entered into an agreement to connect with the Cartagena Refinery with up to 84,000 bbl/d capacity bi-directional hydrocarbon flowline expected to start up by year-end 2024.
Today, the port manages over 70 kbpd of oil and oil products and is the country’s largest roll-on/roll-off cargo operator.

SAARA & ProAgrollanos: Integrated water management project
SAARA (formerly Agrocascada)
- SAARA reverse osmosis plant water treatment facility
- SAARA’s nameplate capacity is 1,000 mbwpd. The plant will help solve and take advantage of the availability of production water from the Quifa and Rubiales fields
- It removes salts from water to bring it to physicochemical characteristics suitable for use in agricultural irrigation
- The treated water will be reused in agricultural activities, in an African palm plantation owned by Proagrollanos
PROAGROLLANOS
- African Palm planting project in the Municipality of Puerto Gaitán, department of Meta. It currently has ~3,000 Ha in production, with a productivity close to 8 tons/ha, .
- Treated water provided by SAARA will increase irrigation and may improve palm crop productivity from 9 tons per Ha/year to 20-25 tons per Ha/year
