In 2024 Puerto Rosales shipped roughly 3.64 million tonnes of crude oil, confirming its status as Argentina's largest crude export terminal. Located near Bahía Blanca and operated by Oiltanking Ebytem, the facility works through two single-point moorings at Punta Cigüeña and Punta Ancla, loading Aframax and Panamax tankers fed by a pipeline from the Vaca Muerta shale fields. The main destinations are the United States, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay. This is a dedicated liquid-bulk port, so container and general-cargo handling is effectively absent. Hinterland links run by pipeline and road to Buenos Aires province and the Neuquén basin. Shippers needing containers or dry bulk turn to neighbouring Bahía Blanca (Ingeniero White), while most general imports route through Buenos Aires.
