About This Seaport
Operators such as the Navios group have turned Nueva Palmira into one of the leading agribulk transshipment hubs on the Río de la Plata. The port sits where the Paraguay-Paraná waterway (Hidrovía) meets the estuary, consolidating barge convoys from Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina before ocean vessels load for export. Its dry-bulk terminal offers around 460,000 t of silo capacity (soybean basis) and three shiploaders rated at up to 48,000 t per day, while barge convoys are discharged at 10,000–14,000 t per day. Soybeans, grains, meals and vegetable oils dominate the traffic; scheduled container services are not part of the picture. Free-zone status makes the port well suited to transit and re-export flows. Shippers needing container or general cargo handling use Montevideo, whereas Nueva Palmira remains first choice for bulk and project cargo.
