Alumina in, aluminium ingots out: the trade of Puerto Madryn on Patagonia's Golfo Nuevo is set by Aluar, Argentina's only aluminium smelter, which works Berth 1 at the Almirante Storni pier for raw materials and metal exports. The deep natural harbour, with anchorage depths around 17 m, also takes sizeable vessels and offers two jetties — Storni and Comandante Luis Piedra Buena. Beyond aluminium, the port ships frozen fish, wool and flagstone, and receives seasonal cruise calls. Container liner services play little part; handling is geared to industrial and bulk cargo. The Patagonian hinterland is served mainly by road. For boxed freight shippers use Buenos Aires, and for bulk the Bahía Blanca complex.
