Puerto Santa Fe

The Port of Santa Fe is located in the heart of the Paraguay - Paraná Waterway (km. 584 of the Paraná River), being, upstream, the last overseas port suitable for operations with ocean vessels. Its strategic location makes it the right link to unite the transport nodes (land-river-oceanic), allowing the development of national and international cabotage and international maritime operations, for unitized, containerized, bulk, general cargo, etc. to and from its Hinterland made up of the Central, NOA and NEA Regions of the Argentine Republic. Likewise, its privileged position geographically outlines it as the obligatory center for cargo transfers to and from the countries located on the Waterway. The road network links the Port of Santa Fe with the regional economies that can use its docks as an alternative for exporting their products and importing their supplies. This port occupies a place that marks it as a converging node in the transport of cargo to and from the main areas of the Province and the Regions that make up its Hinterland, which has as its southern limit the axis city of Santa Fe - city of Córdoba. To the North, National Route 11 connects it with the city of Clorinda opposite Asunción in Paraguay; to the East, it is the terminal point of National Route 18 that crosses Entre Ríos; to the west, it is the starting point of National Route 19 - bi-oceanic - which, extending with 20, leads to Córdoba, San Juan, San Luis, Mendoza and Chile; towards the Northwest, through National Route No. 34, it links with Santiago del Estero and Tucumán, guaranteeing an extraordinary contribution of goods that can be transported by river, and inserting us as an obligatory port for transferring fluvial - oceanic cargo and becoming a preponderant factor for the natural exit of productions for export and the gateway for the import of its inputs, fully solving the complex transportation system in the country and in Mercosur.
