CLQTV Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of CLQTV
Quintero Port is the seaport of Quintero, in the city of Quinteroin Chile. Overseas routes include Central and South America, Port code is CLQTV.
Port Overview
Quintero (UN/LOCODE: CLQTV) is a specialized maritime port area at the head of Quintero Bay on Chile’s central coast, approximately 16 nautical miles northeast of Valparaíso. It is not primarily a container gateway; its logistics profile is built around energy, liquid bulk, gas and selected breakbulk operations. The supplied port record identifies oil-handling facilities with single-buoy mooring and conventional buoy mooring arrangements, liquefied chemical-gas terminals, an LNG pier and regasification terminal, together with private facilities including Puerto Ventanas handling bulk, oil, gas and breakbulk cargo. Our service team therefore treats CLQTV as a project-sensitive and safety-critical port call, where terminal nomination, cargo compatibility, berth approval, dangerous-goods documentation and road planning should be confirmed before booking.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- Oil terminals: The supplied port data records SBM and CBM arrangements. Mooring configuration, hose connection, manifold requirements and ship-shore compatibility must be confirmed with the nominated terminal.
- LNG infrastructure: An LNG pier and regasification terminal are recorded for the port area. These facilities are specialized and are not interchangeable with general breakbulk or container handling services.
- Liquefied chemical-gas terminals: Gas cargoes require advance review of UN number, proper shipping name, packing or tank specification, flash point where applicable, SDS and emergency-response information.
- Bulk and breakbulk handling: Private facilities, including Puerto Ventanas as identified in the supplied record, may handle dry bulk, liquid bulk and project or general cargo subject to commodity and equipment approval.
- Inland logistics: Road-based drayage is the practical planning basis for central-Chile deliveries. Heavy-lift, abnormal-dimension and hazardous-material movements require route, permit and time-window checks before dispatch.
- Container services: The supplied record shows no FCL or LCL service count for CLQTV. Our team will normally assess a containerized shipment against alternative Chilean container gateways rather than assume container terminal availability at Quintero.
Routes & Transit Times
- Trade direction: Quintero’s profile is most relevant to Chilean energy, industrial bulk, gas, liquid-bulk and project-cargo flows. Service patterns depend on the nominated terminal and cargo type, not only on the CLQTV code.
- Feeder or alternative-gateway planning: Containerized cargo may require an alternative Chilean gateway and onward trucking. Our service team will compare the total route, including transshipment risk, terminal handling and inland delivery, before confirming the booking structure.
- Transit-time drivers: Actual timing is affected by vessel nomination, berth window, pilotage, swell and wind conditions, dangerous-goods approval, customs release, road permits and terminal operating instructions.
- Quotation discipline: We do not promise a fixed sailing schedule or transit time for CLQTV without a carrier or terminal confirmation. Cut-offs and estimated arrival dates should be treated as operational estimates until reconfirmed.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Central Chile: The port area serves industrial and energy-related demand around Quintero and the wider Valparaíso Region, with potential road connections toward the Santiago metropolitan market.
- Energy cargo: Crude or refined oil products, LNG-related cargo and liquefied gases are consistent with the recorded terminal profile. Product acceptance, tank compatibility and terminal nomination are essential.
- Industrial bulk: Dry bulk, liquid bulk, chemicals and industrial raw materials may be handled through designated private facilities, subject to the facility’s operating scope.
- Breakbulk and project cargo: Steel, machinery, plant components and other non-containerized cargo may be considered where dimensions, lifting method, securing plan and road delivery route are accepted in advance.
Operations & Compliance
- Terminal and berth nomination: Confirm the exact facility, cargo owner, consignee, vessel particulars, berth window and shore-side receiving capability before issuing final instructions. Quintero is a port area with different specialized facilities, not one uniform terminal operation.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group where applicable, marine-pollutant status, SDS and emergency information. Gas, chemical and petroleum cargoes may require additional terminal review and authority notifications.
- Customs and release: Align commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin where required, import permits and cargo-specific authorizations. Customs inspection or document queries can delay release; final requirements should be checked with Chilean Customs and the appointed broker.
- Inland delivery: Check axle limits, road permits, escort requirements, hazardous-material routing, delivery time windows and site access. For tanks, heavy lifts or oversized units, obtain a route survey and receiving-site confirmation before cargo is gated or dispatched.
Shipping Tips
- Send the commodity description, HS code, SDS, cargo quantity, density, temperature requirements, UN details and packaging or tank specifications at the quotation stage.
- For bulk or gas cargo, provide vessel dimensions, manifold information, cargo-transfer rate and compatibility documents early; do not rely on the general CLQTV code to establish terminal acceptance.
- For breakbulk and project cargo, prepare dimensional drawings, weight distribution, lifting points, lashing arrangements, center-of-gravity data and a delivery-site unloading plan.
- Keep a contingency plan for berth delay, weather disruption, inspection or road-permit delay. For containerized shipments, our team can compare an alternative gateway with onward trucking when Quintero is not operationally suitable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CLQTV a standard container port?
CLQTV is primarily associated with energy, liquid bulk, gas, bulk and breakbulk operations. The supplied record lists no FCL or LCL service count. Our team will verify whether the nominated facility accepts the cargo; containerized cargo may need routing through another Chilean gateway.
Which terminal should be shown on the shipping instruction?
The exact private facility must be stated once the cargo and receiver are confirmed. The port area includes specialized oil, gas, LNG and bulk or breakbulk facilities, and the UN/LOCODE alone does not identify the operational berth.
What information is needed for dangerous-goods booking?
Provide the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group where applicable, SDS, quantity, packaging or tank type, flash point where relevant and emergency contact details. Terminal acceptance and authority notification requirements must be reconfirmed for each shipment.
Can oversized machinery be delivered through Quintero?
It may be possible through an approved breakbulk or project-cargo facility, but acceptance depends on berth equipment, lifting method, cargo dimensions, road permits, route limitations and the consignee’s unloading capability. Our service team will arrange a feasibility review before booking.
Are the recorded vessel limits guaranteed for every call?
No. The supplied record reports a maximum recorded length of 300 m, draught of 14.7 m and deadweight of 152,013 t. Actual acceptance depends on the selected berth, terminal rules, pilotage, tide, weather, cargo condition and current authority instructions.
