Hake, Illex squid and Patagonian shrimp dominate the cargo profile of Puerto Deseado, a fishing port on the Deseado River estuary in Argentina's Santa Cruz Province. Some 70 to 90 foreign-going reefer vessels call each year, loading frozen and processed seafood from around eight local processing plants, with modest volumes of regional wool added to the mix. The port is geared to reefer and refrigerated cargo and the associated export customs clearance rather than to scheduled container traffic, and a regular container line service is not confirmed. Inland connections run by road via Ruta Nacional 281 to the RN 3 corridor, with no significant rail role. Bunkers are available while repair capacity is limited. Shippers needing container slots or project cargo typically fall back on the deeper port of Puerto Madryn or on Comodoro Rivadavia.
