PORTS in La Plata and Dock Sud can fully support the container volumes and flow of trade in the metropolitan areas of Greater Buenos Aires and Greater La Plata, according to the National Technological University's (NTU) technical study.

NTU's Technological Center for Transport, Traffic and Road Safety study cited the importance of realizing the potential of other ports serving the larger metropolitan areas within Buenos Aires with its analysis of each port's competitive advantages, land and rail connectivity, operational capacity, and connectivity. Currently, the country's containerized cargoes are primarily facilitated in the city's main port located in the city center.
