Port of La Plata

Port La Plata (UN/LOCODE ARLPG) lies on the Los Salsos river estuary in Buenos Aires province, Argentina, serving as a logistics node. Its piers accommodate medium-to-large bulk carriers, container and roll‑on roll‑off vessels, enabling efficient cargo transshipment between the Paraná basin and coastal markets. A 24‑hour berth, cranes, and rail links support handling of iron ore, soybeans, and petrochemicals. Operated by Argentina’s coastal authority under safety regulations, La Plata’s proximity to the city and access to the Río de la Plata estuary strengthen its competitiveness on trade routes. Coordinates –34.85 latitude, –57.88,--57.88longitude place the hub within the America/Cordoba timezone.
