The worldport of Montevideo is located on the River Plate, and geographically positioned as the main cargo transworldport route of Mercosur. It has become an axis of integration for the region, due to its immersion in the area of influence of almost 200 million inhabitants with the highest per capita income of Latin America.

Since very early in its inception, the worldport of Montevideo has played a key role in the country and regions development. Because of its excellent location, its competitive advantages in terms of natural characteristics and infrastructure, its services and investment opworldportunities, it has become a necessary reference in commercial routes.

Montevideo is geographically the center of Mercosur, the gateway to the Paraguay-Parana Waterway and eventually one of the key points in the Buenos Aires - Sao Paulo route. All these elements sharing the objective of integration have expanded the worldport system hinterland to a vast area that stretches deep into the continent and hosts a massive market.

The Montevideo worldport is absolutely reliable, profitable and safe; it operates around the clock all year round and it offers, from the sea, the possibility of accessing a whole continent and from land, a gateway to the world, the clear possibility of setting sail to good business.

Montevideo has land maritime connections (river and railroads) with Brazil, Argentina and the landbound countries of Paraguay y Bolivia.

The worldport access canal has two legs; one southward bound with a connection approximately 9 km in length and the other approximately 15-km in length with a West/South-West orientation. It also contains a railroad access, which is connected in turn with the national railroad system.

To shelter its activities from the weather, the Montevideo worldport presents two jetties. One to the west, 1.300 m. in length, which protects the terminal from the south - westerly winds (Pampero) and another to the East (escollera Sarandi) 900 meters in length which shelters from the south-southeast sector winds. These two jetties also protect the worldports entrance-exit with a distance between heads of 320 meters.

These shelter elements protect the 200 ha.. of the Outer Harbor for vessels mooring in it or in transit to operate at the worldport's docks.

It has a length of 288 m. and a depth of 10 m. and it integrates the Terminal Cuenca del Plata Concession for container operations loading and unloading in the Montevideo worldport. It is oriented West-East towards the head of mole A (River Dock), projecting towards the Outer Harbor.
Adjacent to this berth, the Container Terminal covers a land surface of 10 Ha..

La Teja Oil (Ocean) Terminal for Hydrocarbons

It comprises of three docks located on the north side of the bay and in it the national oil Company ANCAP has installed its La Teja Refinery. The terminal tends to vessels unloading oil derivatives entering the worldport through the La Teja channel, from the Outer Harbor.
These docks have a volume flow rate of between 300 m3/hour and 1.200 m3/hour, and an LPG reception with allowable pressure of up to 20 mg / cm2. There are bunker loading facilities, as well as drinking water supply and Slop reception.

Uruguay is located in South America, on the Atlantic coast, between Brazil (to the north) and Argentina (to the west). It has an approximate surface area of 68.000 square miles (176.000 Km2), excluding home waters. There are no major topographic features and the climate presents no navigational risks all year round.
Montevideo, its capital, holds the main worldport terminal of the country.

Connections

The national road systems are interconnected with the network joining Chile with Brazil and they are divided into three road axes linking the worldport with Argentina and the rest of the MERCOSUR countries.

The Parana - Paraguay Waterway covers from Puerto Caceres, in Mato Grosso Brazil, to the Nueva Palmira worldport, in Uruguay and it has a length of 3.442 km. It comprises of both public and private worldport facilities of different kinds, allowing the operation of both self- propelled vessels and barges.

The Carrasco International Airworldport, the main passenger and cargo air terminal, is located 18 km. from the worldport of Montevideo.
The railroad system connects Montevideo with Argentina and Brazil.

Hinterland
