VEMRD Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of VEMRD
Merida Port is the seaport of Merida, in the city of Meridain Venezuela. Overseas routes include Central and South America, Port code is VEMRD.
Merida, Venezuela — Port Overview
UN/LOCODE VEMRD identifies Merida, an inland city in western Venezuela rather than an ocean-facing seaport. The supplied record places the location at approximately 8.5917533° N and 71.2083157° W. For international containerized cargo, Merida should therefore be treated as an inland delivery, collection, or distribution point that normally requires an additional connection through a suitable Venezuelan coastal gateway, airport, or border logistics route. Our service team can coordinate the ocean or air leg separately from the final inland movement, subject to carrier acceptance, road conditions, customs instructions, and consignee requirements. Ocean-port facilities, berth conditions, vessel schedules, and terminal cut-offs must not be inferred from the VEMRD city code and should be confirmed for the actual gateway used.

Inland destination
VEMRD is not a substitute for a coastal seaport code. The ocean gateway must be named separately in the booking and transport plan.
Gateway-dependent routing
Total transit depends on the selected coastal or airport gateway, transshipment plan, customs release, and inland road execution.
Road-first final leg
Final delivery planning should cover truck availability, mountainous-road constraints, security controls, and consignee receiving capacity.
Pre-confirmed documentation
Consignee, importer-of-record, tax, customs, and delivery-point details should be validated before cargo acceptance.
Facilities & Services
- International gateway handling: container discharge, airport handling, or border processing must be arranged at the separately selected gateway.
- Inland trucking: our service team can request full-truckload, less-than-truckload, or specialized equipment subject to local availability and cargo dimensions.
- Temporary storage: warehouse or cross-dock use in the Merida area should be confirmed in advance, including cargo security, operating hours, and customs status.
- Customs and inspection coordination: inspection location, document presentation, and release procedure depend on the competent Venezuelan authority and the actual entry point.
- Oversized or sensitive cargo: route surveys, vehicle suitability, lifting arrangements, and delivery access should be checked before booking.
Sea freight
Use the selected Venezuelan coastal gateway as the ocean-port reference, then arrange inland delivery to Merida. Carrier acceptance of the final destination must be confirmed before issuing the booking.
Air freight
For urgent or high-value cargo, an airport-based solution may be assessed separately. Airport acceptance, cargo screening, and onward trucking require case-by-case confirmation.
Transit variables
Transit time can change with gateway congestion, transshipment, customs inspection, road conditions, weather, security arrangements, and equipment availability. No fixed transit time should be promised without a live quotation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Merida serves as a destination and distribution point for the surrounding Andean urban and commercial area, with final-mile planning centered on local consignee access.
- Potential cargo profiles include general merchandise, spare parts, consumer products, industrial inputs, project components, and temperature-sensitive goods, subject to trade-specific confirmation.
- Agricultural and food-related shipments require additional attention to packaging, shelf life, sanitary documentation, and temperature control where applicable.
- For machinery, construction materials, and other heavy cargo, road geometry, axle limits, unloading equipment, and delivery-site access should be reviewed before dispatch.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-offs: VEMRD itself should not be treated as a vessel terminal. Confirm the actual gateway’s documentation, cargo, and container cut-offs, allowing time for inland positioning.
- Dangerous goods: provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, safety data sheet, package details, and emergency contact before booking. Carrier and gateway approval remains necessary.
- Customs: align commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, tariff classification, valuation, origin information, and importer details before cargo arrival.
- Inspection and delivery: customs holds, physical examination, road permits, security escorts, and consignee receiving restrictions may affect release and final delivery. Confirm each requirement with the appointed local agent.
Shipping Tips from Our Service Team
- State Merida, Venezuela as the inland destination and request a through-routing review; do not use VEMRD as though it were a coastal port.
- Obtain the gateway, carrier, inland agent, and delivery-point confirmation before cargo handover, especially for FCL, hazardous, refrigerated, or oversized shipments.
- Send final cargo dimensions, gross weight, package photographs, commodity description, and delivery-site details early so truck and handling requirements can be assessed.
- Build schedule contingency for customs inspection, gateway release, road disruption, and local receiving constraints. Our team can compare sea-plus-truck and air-plus-truck options when service priority requires it.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is VEMRD a seaport for container bookings?
- No. The supplied record identifies Merida as an inland Venezuelan location. The ocean carrier booking must reference the actual coastal gateway, with Merida arranged as the inland destination.
- Can our bill of lading show VEMRD?
- It may be possible as a place of delivery or inland destination, subject to the carrier’s routing and documentation rules. Our team will verify the accepted transport-document format before issuance.
- What determines the final transit time?
- The main variables are the selected gateway, vessel or flight connection, cargo release, customs processing, truck availability, road conditions, and consignee receiving arrangements.
- Can hazardous or oversized cargo be delivered to Merida?
- Potentially, but acceptance is not automatic. Dangerous-goods approvals, vehicle suitability, road restrictions, permits, unloading capability, and the final delivery address must be checked in advance.
- What information should be sent for a quotation?
- Provide commodity, packages, dimensions, gross weight, value, Incoterm, origin, requested delivery address, cargo readiness date, and any temperature, dangerous-goods, or special-handling requirements.
Data Sources & Provenance
Hard identifiers in this module—UN/LOCODE VEMRD, Merida name, Venezuela location, city designation, and coordinates—are taken from the supplied port record. The inland classification is a logistics interpretation based on Merida’s geographic position and is used to prevent the city code from being presented as an ocean terminal. Gateway schedules, customs requirements, carrier acceptance, road conditions, and service availability require current case-by-case confirmation.
For reference and compliance validation, users should consult the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe at unece.org for UN/LOCODE framework information and Venezuela’s tax and customs authority at seniat.gob.ve for applicable customs procedures. These domains do not replace confirmation from the actual carrier, gateway operator, customs broker, or local delivery agent.
