Port Overview

Chaguaramas Port, UN/LOCODE TTCHA, is a medium-sized entry port at the western extremity of Point Gourde in Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago. The port is best assessed as a multipurpose maritime service and offshore-support port rather than as a conventional high-volume container gateway. Its documented functions include a ship repair yard and drydock for commercial vessels, a supply base serving offshore oil and gas activities, and facilities for yachts and recreational craft. For our customers, TTCHA is most relevant when cargo is linked to vessel repair, marine projects, offshore supply operations, fishing or recreational craft. Cargo planning should be based on the confirmed facility, vessel and handling arrangement rather than assuming standard container-terminal services.

UN/LOCODE	TTCHA
Port / City	CHAGUARAMAS, Chaguaramas
Country / Region	Trinidad and Tobago, Central and South America
Coordinates	10.6738319, -61.6438313
Recorded operating profile	Approximately 300 vessels annually; the supplied record identifies about 30.5% as sailing vessels and 10% as fishing vessels.
Repair-dock reference	Maximum vessel size handled by the repair dockyard: 22,000 tonnes deadweight, subject to actual dockyard confirmation.

Key Highlights

Multipurpose maritime profile: TTCHA combines commercial-vessel repair, drydock and marine-support functions with yacht and recreational-craft activity.
Offshore-oriented cargo environment: Cargo associated with oil and gas support operations may require project coordination, controlled delivery windows and detailed packing lists.
Repair-port suitability: The supplied port record states that the repair dockyard can handle vessels up to 22,000 tonnes deadweight; acceptance remains subject to dockyard review.
Not to be treated as an automatic container gateway: Our service team confirms the receiving facility, cargo-handling method and nominated vessel before quoting a routing.
Marine traffic mix: Sailing and fishing vessels form a notable part of the recorded vessel profile, so berth, yard and service priorities may differ from those at large liner terminals.

Facilities & Services

Commercial-vessel repair and drydock The port record identifies a repair yard and drydock. Our team can coordinate cargo delivery against the repair project, vessel arrival and dockyard acceptance requirements.

Offshore supply base The port handles supply-base cargo connected with offshore oil and gas activities. Delivery instructions, project references and consignee contact details should be confirmed before dispatch.

Yacht and recreational-craft facilities Yacht-related shipments may involve non-standard dimensions, protective packing, lifting arrangements and owner or vessel-agent coordination.

Marine and fishing-vessel support The recorded vessel mix includes sailing and fishing vessels. Spare parts, provisions, technical stores and repair materials should be booked against a specific vessel or service provider.

Road-based local delivery Inland movement to Chaguaramas is normally planned by road. Vehicle access, delivery appointments, escort needs and oversized-cargo restrictions must be checked for the actual site.

Handling confirmation Container, breakbulk, heavy-lift, hazardous and project cargo arrangements are facility-specific. We obtain confirmation of equipment, storage, receiving hours and cargo acceptance before final execution.

Routes & Logistics Timing

For international cargo, our team evaluates feeder, transshipment, breakbulk, project-cargo and multimodal options according to the confirmed receiving facility; a direct liner service to TTCHA should not be assumed.
Typical trade planning may involve connections through Caribbean or North American hubs, but the actual port pair, carrier acceptance and sailing schedule must be checked at quotation stage.
Repair and offshore-support shipments are governed more by vessel or project readiness than by a standard liner cut-off. The delivery window should be aligned with the vessel agent, dockyard or supply-base operator.
Transit time can be affected by transshipment availability, customs release, weather, berth or yard congestion, cargo dimensions, dangerous-goods approval and the availability of suitable inland equipment.
Our quotations state routing and estimated transit only after carrier, facility and cargo details are confirmed; schedules remain subject to operational change.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

TTCHA primarily serves the Chaguaramas marine-service area and related maritime activity in western Trinidad. Its practical hinterland is defined by the receiving vessel, repair yard, offshore-support project or recreational-marine facility rather than by a broad inland container distribution network.

Offshore and energy support: oilfield equipment, maintenance materials, technical stores, packaged components and project supplies.
Ship repair: machinery parts, pumps, valves, electrical equipment, steel items, maintenance consumables and tools.
Fishing and marine operations: fishing gear, engines, spare parts, provisions and vessel supplies.
Yacht and recreational craft: marine equipment, replacement parts, furnishings and carefully protected oversized items.
Project and breakbulk cargo: cargo requiring confirmed lifting, stowage, weather protection or direct delivery to a nominated marine facility.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: TTCHA may not follow a single standard container-terminal cut-off for every shipment. Our service team obtains the actual cargo-receiving deadline from the carrier, agent, yard or project facility and builds in time for inland delivery.
Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS and packing certificate where applicable. Dangerous-goods acceptance must be obtained before dispatch, especially for fuels, chemicals, batteries and marine maintenance products.
Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, consignee details, cargo value, origin information and any required import or project permits should be consistent. Customs release and inspection requirements are determined by the relevant authorities.
Oversized and heavy cargo: Submit dimensions, gross weight, centre of gravity, lifting points and packing photographs in advance. Road access, crane availability, escort requirements and delivery appointments must be confirmed before loading.

Cargo for a vessel in repair or offshore service should be marked with the vessel name, project or purchase-order reference, local contact and final delivery point. Incorrect vessel references can cause avoidable storage, re-delivery or customs delays.

Shipping Tips

Send our team the cargo dimensions, weight, commodity, packing method, value, readiness date and final marine facility before requesting a firm routing.
For ship-repair and offshore cargo, provide the vessel name, IMO number where applicable, agent contact and project deadline so delivery can be coordinated with the receiving party.
Use seaworthy export packaging with corrosion protection and clear package numbering. For exposed marine environments, moisture barriers and desiccants should be considered according to the cargo.
Keep a backup option available, such as an alternative Caribbean transshipment point or a road-delivery arrangement to another confirmed Trinidad receiving location, when TTCHA acceptance or sailing availability is uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our team book ordinary FCL cargo directly to TTCHA?

Not automatically. TTCHA is documented primarily as a marine-service, repair and offshore-support port. We first verify the nominated facility, carrier acceptance, equipment availability and receiving instructions before recommending an FCL or alternative routing.

Is TTCHA suitable for ship-repair spare parts?

It can be suitable when the repair yard or vessel agent confirms acceptance. The shipment should show the vessel or project reference and include complete technical, customs and dangerous-goods documentation where relevant.

What information is required for oversized cargo?

Provide overall dimensions, gross weight, centre of gravity, lifting points, packing details, cargo photographs, delivery address and required delivery date. Our service team then checks road access, handling equipment and facility acceptance.

Can we rely on a fixed transit time to Chaguaramas?

No. Transit depends on the selected transshipment or project-cargo route, vessel schedule, customs processing, weather, cargo acceptance and inland delivery appointment. We provide an estimated schedule only after these conditions are checked.

How should dangerous goods be arranged?

Submit the classification and shipping documents before booking. Our team coordinates carrier and facility approval, but final acceptance, segregation and handling requirements remain subject to the applicable transport rules and the receiving facility.

Data Sources & Provenance

The port code, port name, country, city, coordinates, operating description, vessel profile and repair-dock capacity in this module are taken from the supplied TTCHA port record. The recorded figures are presented as supplied and should be reconfirmed with the nominated port, dockyard, vessel agent or carrier before a binding booking.

For code and location-reference validation, our team may cross-check the UN/LOCODE framework through unece.org. Customs and import-clearance requirements should be verified with the competent Trinidad and Tobago authority through customs.gov.tt. These domains are provided as authority-level reference points only; operational acceptance, cut-offs, schedules, charges and inspection decisions remain subject to the relevant facility, carrier and government authority.
