Puerto Bolívar
Cerrejón's port operation in Alta Guajira, located next to the Bahía Portete Nature Park. Ships worldwide arrive at the port, where they are loaded to distribute our product to our international clients.
Since 1985, we had had a direct loading system before it was a legal requirement in Colombia. The coal is collected and transported directly to the loader, which deposits the mineral in the ship's holds.

Mina
In the center of La Guajira is the heart of our operations. We carry out the exploration and exploitation of Colombian coal following applicable operational and environmental standards. We also consider land rehabilitation in the intervened areas towards the end of the mining process.
Railroad
Through an automatic loading and unloading system, the train connects the mining operation with Puerto Bolívar on a journey of approximately four hours.
