Siendo Guayaquil el principal Puerto Marítimo y fluvial del Pacífico Ecuatoriano, y de gran importancia del comercio exterior que maneja el sistema portuario nacional, así como las diversas actividades como la exportación: carga refrigerada e importación de materias primas para la industria, se determinó un estudio de evaluación cualitativa y cuantitativa de los derrames eventuales de residuos de hidrocarburos del petróleo ocasionado por las diferentes embarcaciones apoderadas en los muelles de Autoridad Portuaria de Guayaquil.The study featured a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the contamination of hydrocarbons and petroleum from different cruises in the waters of Estero Salado and Estero El Muerto in the area surrounding the docks of the Guayaquil Port Authority, using contamination data collected during the period 1984 to 2004 by INOCAR. Qualitatively the studies show the presence of bilge waters in most of the study areas from the merchant ships that arrive daily at the port, with the majority occurring in the years 1999 and 2004. With chromatograph analysis were registered 40 positive samples and 15 negative samples, being the highest detection on 2004 year. It was found that the higher frequency of oil spill occurred in the influence area of the APG harbor was in the general loading area # 1 until harbor # 6. From the quantitative point of view, the concentration of solved and dispersed hydrocarbons (HDD) in all the study area, considering the tide state (high and low tide) is relatively low compared with the permissible limit of 10, considered as the maximum value for surface natural waters in the standard UNESCO 1976. By the other hand, it must be considered that this minimum concentration produce the existence of a permanent oil film, giving a character of chronicle with the consequence of producing negative effects to the ecosystem at a short or medium term.
