The Port of San Juan (Spanish: Puerto de San Juan) is a large seaport facility in and around San Juan Bay in Puerto Rico. Primarily located within the capital municipality of San Juan, the Port of San Juan consists of multiple public and private passenger and cargo facilities. Public facilities are administered by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA), under the Department of Transportation and Public Works of Puerto Rico.[2]

The cruise area of the port, known as the San Juan Cruise Port, is located in and around Caño de San Antonio (San Antonio Canal), a narrow navigable section of San Juan Bay situated between Old San Juan in San Juan Islet and the Puerto Rico Convention Center and Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport in the subbarrio of Isla Grande in the barrio of Santurce in San Juan. The cruise port consists of piers 1, 3, 4, 11 to 14, as well as the Pan American piers I and II.[3][4]

The main cargo facilities of the port are located in the Puerto Nuevo Terminal in the barrios of Hato Rey Norte and Gobernador Piñero in San Juan. It handles containerized and break-bulk cargoes with and without shore-side cranes.[5][6] Containers are also handled at the public Army Terminal in the barrio of Pueblo Viejo in Guaynabo[7] and the private barge Isla Grande Terminal in the subbarrio of Isla Grande in the barrio of Santurce in San Juan.[8][9] Additional private facilities handle containers in ro-ro and barge service, and bulk commodities. Major commodities handled at the port include manufactured products, distillate fuel oil, gasoline, foodstuffs, and kerosene.
