Port of Montevideo, Commercial maritime port in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Port of Montevideo extends over 110 hectares along the Río de la Plata river, featuring multiple terminals for cargo, passengers, and fishing operations.
Founded in the early 18th century, the port underwent major engineering developments between 1870 and 1930, including the construction of wooden piers and the La Teja Refinery.
The port functions as a central meeting point where maritime traditions merge with urban life through regular festivals and community gatherings near the waterfront.
The facility operates two main access points at Maciel Street and Florida Street, with a dedicated North Access gate specifically designed for specialized cargo transportation.
Three distinct water basins within the port receive protection from southwestern winds through a 1300-meter western breakwater and a 900-meter eastern Sarandí breakwater.
