About This Seaport
The Henryk Arctowski (Poland) and Comandante Ferraz (Brazil) research stations are the only occupants of Admiralty Bay, a broad inlet on King George Island in the South Shetlands — not a commercial port despite its harbour label. Vessel traffic is confined to seasonal resupply of these bases by ice-strengthened research and supply ships; there is no container, breakbulk, or customs handling in any commercial sense. The bay is also designated an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA 128). Operators shipping Antarctic cargo stage it through the South American gateways of Punta Arenas (Chile) or Ushuaia (Argentina).
