- Charco Azul is a bay and port just outside Puerto Armuelles, in the southwest corner of Panama near the border with Costa Rica. It lies just to the east of the Burica Peninsula, and forms part of the larger Gulf of Chiriquí. Charco Azul translates to "blue ditch/puddle." This name comes from its steep slope off the shore, where the continental shelf is extremely thin. A few meters into the Pacific Ocean, the water is already about 200 m deep. Because of this depth, engineers chose Charco Azul as the site of a port for use by supertankers. As the dock is only 300 feet long, many captains of these supertankers worried that they would run aground, but the water is deep enough to support the largest ones. In fact, one can see deepwater fish swimming just underneath the dock. Since the late 1970s, Charco Azul has unloaded oil from Alaska to be shipped to the refineries of Houston and the Gulf coast of the United States. Originally it was a stopping spot for supertankers to unload and Panamax tankers to load to carry the oil across the Panama Canal. In 1982, the Trans-Panama pipeline was commissioned to transport the oil across to isthmus, with Charco Azul at the southern end. The pipeline was closed in 1996 as Alaskan oil shipments declined, but it began being used in the reverse direction in 2009 to ship crude oil to Pacific Rim refineries. (en)
- La bahía de Charco Azul es un entrante marino localizada al extremo oeste de Panamá, justo al este de la Península de Burica, que forma parte del más amplio golfo de Chiriquí. El nombre "Charco Azul" proviene de la abrupta profundidad de esta entrante, en donde la plataforma continental es estrechísima en este punto. Tan sólo adentrando unos cuantos metros al océano se puede alcanzar una profundidad inferior a los 200 m. Esta peculiaridad ha traído consigo el uso de esta zona de desembarcadero de grandes barcos petroleros, como punto terminal de un oleoducto que recorre el Istmo de Panamá. (es)
- 查科阿苏尔湾（西班牙語：bahía de Charco Azul）是巴拿马太平洋沿岸最西边的一个海湾，位于布里卡半岛以东，是廣義的奇里基湾的一部分。 “查科阿苏尔”（"Charco Azul"）一词意為“藍水坑”，指的是此处海中岩壁陡峭，大陆架非常狹窄，從岸邊往前几米水深即接近200米 。 这种特点使其成為大型油輪的靠岸地，並有穿過巴拿馬地峽的輸油管道連接加勒比海沿岸。 (zh)
