About El Salvador Ports and Congestion

Acajutla Port is the primary commercial gateway for El Salvador, handling containerized cargo, dry bulk, and petroleum shipments. Located on the Pacific coast, it connects the country to major shipping routes throughout the Americas. With limited berthing infrastructure and frequent cargo operations, efficient scheduling is essential. GoComet’s port congestion tracker gives users real-time insight into vessel queues, berth usage, and port flow. This helps freight forwarders, shippers, and logistics professionals reduce delays, plan port calls more accurately, and benchmark congestion levels against other regional ports for improved route optimization.
