UPDATE: Colombia’s New Greenfield Port Puerto Antioquia Begins Handling Coffee

Colombia’s New Greenfield Port Puerto Antioquia Begins Handling Coffee
(Adds comments from a coffee grower and exporter from the southeast of Antioqiua)
Bogota (Coffee Network )- The Colombia’s tax authority Dian gave green light to Colombia’s new greenfield port on the Caribbean coast, Puerto Antioquia, to begin handling coffee, Puerto Antioquia said.
The authorization comes a bit late as Puerto Antioquia began operations in February 5.
This authorization, issued on June 5, was not a simple procedure. To obtain it, Puerto Antioquia had to undergo a technical evaluation process led by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, an institution that acts as the guarantor authority in this process, Puerto Antioquia said.
“Our warehouses, berths, equipment, cold storage facilities, security systems, and processes are ready to handle Colombian coffee and to support exports of our flagship product,” commercial vice-president Ginna Castro said.
This is excellent news for all Colombian coffee exporters because Puerto Antioquia is the closest Caribbean port terminal to the country’s main production and consumption centers, located 350 kilometers closer than other regional terminals. In addition, 14% of Colombia’s coffee exports are produced in Antioquia, and Puerto Antioquia is the natural port for that production, Puerto Antioquia said.
Puerto Antioquia is positioning itself as a key departure point for agricultural exports—primarily banana, coffee and cocoa—with an initial capacity of 7 million tonnes/year, the port operator said.
The large coffee grower and exporter Juan Alvaro Arboleda said the port is an excellent alternative as it is much closer than Cartagena.
"This port benefits us a lot with fleet costs reducing sharply as it is four hours from our farm," he said. "We have to speak with our clients overseas so that they give instructions to handle the coffee through this port," he added.
Puerto Antioquia features a 1,340m-long maritime pier with five berths, an operational draft of 16.5m suitable for New Panamax vessels, and a 38-hectare onshore platform. The facility includes container yards, refrigerated warehouses, and specialized areas for bulk, general, and roll-on/roll-off cargo. Capacity can be expanded in line with demand.
The multipurpose terminal is expected to ease chronic congestion at Caribbean ports during peak coffee harvests, when trucks often face delays unloading coffee bags, said Gustavo Gómez, president of the coffee exporters association Asoexport. The new port will also reduce logistics costs for shippers exporting through the Caribbean Sea.
Puerto Antioquia is located in the town of Turbo, in Colombia’s Antioquia department, less than 260 nautical miles from the Panama Canal. The terminal will serve as a gateway to Antioquia, Colombia’s second-largest contributor to gross domestic product.
Coffee producers and exporters are expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries. In Antioquia—the country’s second-largest coffee-producing department—exporters could achieve logistics savings of up to 51%, as the port is 325km closer than Cartagena, according to a Puerto Antioquia presentation. The distance between Medellín and Puerto Antioquia is 312km, compared with 706km to Cartagena.
The port will also serve coffee exporters from the Eje Cafetero—the departments of Risaralda, Caldas, and Quindío. For Caldas, the distance from Manizales to Puerto Antioquia is 495km, compared with 922km to Cartagena, making the new port 337km closer.
“Coffee growers in the Coffee Axis (Eje Cafetero) also find a real logistical advantage here, with a 36% reduction in distance, as well as improved road infrastructure access to the port. This translates directly into shorter timeframes and lower costs to move the grain to the shipping point, strengthening the competitiveness of our coffee in global markets, Puerto Antioquia said in a release.
Coffee producers in Cundinamarca could see cost reductions of up to 32%, as Puerto Antioquia is 342km closer than Cartagena. The distance from Bogotá to Puerto Antioquia is 729km, versus 980km to Cartagena.
Lower logistics costs are likely to translate into higher prices for growers, Gómez said.
“In its first phase, the port will directly benefit sectors such as agro-industry—bananas, plantains, avocados, coffee, cocoa, flowers, and other perishables—as well as the automotive sector, industrial projects requiring specialized cargo handling, and mass-consumption companies that import and distribute goods domestically,” Puerto Antioquia said.
The port’s operations are supported by electric ship-to-shore (STS) and rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, non-intrusive inspection systems, real-time digital traceability platforms, and 24/7 operations. Its location makes it the closest Caribbean port to Colombia’s main production and consumption centers, reducing distances by 47% from Medellín and 36% from the Coffee Region, and generating estimated logistics savings of 33%–58% compared with other Caribbean terminals.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for July 22
July 22 – Threats to maritime transit is the theme of the day, with escalations being seen in the Strait of Hormuz, Black Sea, and now Red Sea, as four more tankers laden with Saudi crude oil have reportedly turned around today due to Iranian-backed Houthi threats toward shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. As of the time of writing, there have been no confirmed physical attacks in Red Sea since these most recent threats began, but those threats alone appear to be causing enough concern for some shippers to avoid the risk. This appears to be an attempt by Iran to gain additional leverage ahead of the next round of peace talks, but such talks appear somewhat elusive at present, with both sides continuing to escalate strikes against one another. This is driving crude oil prices to a six-week high, with nearby WTI up 3% on the day to trade above $87.10 and nearby Brent up 3.4% on the day to trade above $94 at the time of writing.
