Puerto Sucre is the port of the city of Cumana, capital of the State of Sucre. It has a finger type pier with one berth on each side enabling thedocking of 2 ships; the northern berth is 145 meters long but, as it can be noted from sketch attached, the access road to the pier forms a triangle which gives some additional berthing length to the pier, permitting the docking of a vessel of up to 170 meters long complete inside dock. However, hatch number 1 remains at the recession formed by the access road but if ship's derrick has a reach over the railing of 14 meters, it can discharge without difficulties onto the curved part of the dock. It is recommended that a seaveall be placed to avoid the possibility of cargo falling into water if game slips from the sling or pallet.
