The Argentine terminal of Puerto Rosario (TPR) increased its cargo handling operations by 75% compared to 2018 due to the opening of new markets and the incorporation of new loading and unloading modalities. By the end of the year, the expectation is to continue growing.

The increase in the number of operations was possible thanks to the improvements introduced by TPR. As a result, importers and exporters – including companies from Cordoba – who previously chose other ports, generated an increase in both bulk and container cargo operations.

In July, for example, container handling reached 9,000 TEUs, roughly the same volume that until recently used to be moved in a whole year. One of the great advantages of TPR is to consolidate cargo on a round trip, allowing it to send and receive cargo by rail.

Among the main products handled by the port are autoparts, peanuts, vegetables, citrus, sugar, oil, and wheat.

One of the highlights of this port is its geographical location, which directly impacts logistics costs, bringing great efficiency. The terminal is located in the bioceanic corridor, participating in South America’s terrestrial interconnectivity network and can carry cargo from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
