Port of San Antonio

Strategically positioned on the left bank of the Paraguay River at coordinates 25.4200°S, 57.5476°W, the Port of San Antonio (UN/LOCODE: PYSAN) serves as a critical fluvial logistics hub within Paraguay’s Central Department, operating on America/Asuncion time. As the nation’s premier river terminal, it anchors the Asunción metropolitan industrial corridor, facilitating high-volume cargo transshipment—primarily soybeans, cereals, iron ore, and containerized freight—between the Hidrovía Paraguay-Paraná waterway and the Mercosur hinterland. Its specialized berths, expansive grain silos, and direct rail-road intermodal connectivity enable efficient multimodal distribution, cementing PYSAN’s status as the indispensable gateway for Paraguayan foreign trade and regional supply chain integration.
