Information
 Cargo ship unloading at the San Juan Port. The "San Juan Port" is located to the southern side of the Old San Juan peninsula, northwest of Miramar, west of Luis Munoz Marin International Airport and opposite the Isla Grande Airport and the city of Cataño. There are multiple daily ferry services to Cataño and back, named La lancha de Cataño. During the late 1980s, there was a cruise service that covered the San Juan area, lasting about one hour. The service departed and arrived at the San Juan dock, but its popularity was short lived and thus this service was stopped during the early 1990s.
