San Antonio

San Antonio is Chile’s busiest port, strategically located on the Pacific Coast, serving as a vital gateway for trade between Latin America and Asia. With modern infrastructure and deep-water capacity, it handles large container ships efficiently. Its proximity to Santiago and strong road and rail connections to industrial centers make it a key hub for both imports and exports, particularly copper, fruit, and seafood.

Callao

As Peru’s largest port, Callao handles most of the country’s international trade, especially in minerals and agricultural products. Its strategic position on the Pacific Coast connects trade routes between the Americas, Asia, and Europe, offering regular links to the Panama Canal for transshipment. Being near Lima enhances its role in supporting the industrial and commercial sectors, boosting inland logistics efficiency.

Posorja & Guayaquil

Posorja, a deep-water port, complements Guayaquil by handling larger vessels, facilitating Ecuador’s growing agricultural exports like bananas and shrimp. Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city and historic port, remains a major commercial hub. Both ports benefit from strong connectivity to key agricultural regions, ensuring the swift movement of goods from the interior to the global market.

Santos

Santos is the largest port in Latin America, handling over 25% of Brazil’s foreign trade, including key exports like coffee, soybeans, and sugar. Its close proximity to São Paulo, Brazil’s economic heart, ensures efficient transport of goods. With advanced infrastructure and deep-water channels, Santos can handle large ships and significant cargo volumes, making it a vital node for global trade.

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is Argentina’s primary port, handling significant agricultural exports such as wheat, corn, and soy. Located on the Río de la Plata, it offers direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, connecting South America with Europe, Africa, and North America. The port’s strong inland connectivity ensures a smooth flow of goods from Argentina’s agricultural and industrial regions.

Montevideo

Montevideo is a strategic regional hub near Buenos Aires, serving as a key transshipment port for cargo bound for Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Its deep-water harbor and efficient operations make it attractive for quick turnarounds. Uruguay’s stable political and economic environment adds to the port’s appeal, offering a less congested alternative in the Southern Cone region.
