Two floating docks and eleven moorings line the Itaya River frontage at Iquitos (PE IQT), a river terminal serving the largest city on earth that no road can reach. Barges arriving from Pucallpa and Yurimaguas bring food, timber, agricultural produce and petroleum products to a region dependent on the waterway and on air freight. A SUNAT customs office operates inside the terminal, experienced with cargo and equipment for oil exploration. International liner activity has thinned since Amazon Shipping Line dropped its route linking Iquitos with Manaus, Miami and Houston, so containerised overseas trade is now limited. The port mainly handles bulk, general cargo and fuels rather than scheduled box services. For global container supply chains, Peru's Pacific port of Callao is the practical gateway, with Yurimaguas and Pucallpa acting as upriver transhipment points.
