Maritime Gateway
Montevideo receives ocean and RoRo services from European and other international origins, giving cargo a direct entry point into the region.
Regional Distribution
From Uruguay, cargo can continue by road or multimodal transport into Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile.
Transit & Re-export
Certain cargo can move through Uruguay in transit or for re-export toward neighboring markets, depending on the regime applicable to the shipment.
Customs Coordination
Freightport coordinates customs documentation and formalities at entry, aligning them with the inland and destination plan.
Free-Port & Free-Zone Infrastructure
Where applicable, cargo can make use of free-port and free-zone infrastructure available in and around Montevideo.

Europe → Uruguay

The Europe–Uruguay corridor is Freightport's central industrial gateway. Cargo can originate from Italy and other industrial markets including Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Türkiye before moving toward Montevideo through ocean freight and specialized RoRo or project cargo services. Uruguay provides a practical destination and regional gateway for cargo that subsequently moves into Mercosur markets.

Europe → Brazil

Freightport also develops direct Europe–Brazil logistics flows for RoRo, automotive, industrial and project cargo. Brazil is a major industrial and automotive market, and selected cargo may require direct maritime solutions rather than routing through a regional hub.

Europe → Panama

Panama functions as an additional strategic gateway for selected Europe–Latin America flows, with RoRo, industrial and project cargo coordinated through carrier and local operating relationships, and onward regional connections where required.

Uruguay → Brazil

Regional road and multimodal distribution from Montevideo into Brazilian industrial and automotive markets, coordinated alongside customs and border formalities.

Uruguay → Argentina

Regional distribution connecting Montevideo with Argentine industrial and automotive destinations, suited to rolling cargo and machinery requiring controlled delivery.

Uruguay → Paraguay

A landlocked destination reached through regional inland logistics from Montevideo, relevant for industrial cargo and machinery moving further into the interior.

Uruguay → Chile

Selected multimodal flows connecting Uruguay with Chile's Pacific-facing market, used when the cargo and destination make this route operationally advantageous.

Port, Customs & Logistics Infrastructure

Access, coordination and integration, not ownership.

FAQ

Common questions about our corridors and cargo.

What types of cargo does Freightport handle?

Freightport handles complex industrial cargo including RoRo and rolling cargo, automotive vehicles and machinery, industrial equipment, project cargo, OOG and heavy-lift shipments, and cargo related to energy and industrial infrastructure. We focus on movements that require specialized planning, equipment and coordination rather than standard containerized freight.

How does the Europe–Uruguay corridor work?

Cargo originates in European industrial markets, with Italy as the principal European hub, and moves toward Montevideo through RoRo, ocean freight or specialized project cargo solutions. From Uruguay, Freightport coordinates regional distribution into Mercosur markets according to the cargo, final destination and required customs and inland solution.

Which countries do you connect?

Freightport focuses on the Europe–South America axis, with European origin markets including Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain and Türkiye. Core South American markets include Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, with Panama used as a strategic gateway for selected regional flows.

What makes Freightport different from a standard freight forwarder?

Freightport operates as an integrated logistics operator, not a general freight forwarder. Instead of treating RoRo, industrial machinery, project cargo and OOG as exceptions to a general forwarding model, these shipments are central to the company's operating focus.

Can Freightport coordinate inland transport and destination delivery?

Yes. Depending on the corridor and cargo, Freightport can coordinate inland transport, customs support, warehousing, port-related operations, free-zone or transit requirements and regional distribution through selected local partners. For Uruguay, this supports the company's role as a gateway into the wider Mercosur region.

What should customers send for a RoRo or project cargo quotation?

For an initial quotation, the most useful information includes origin, destination, cargo description, dimensions, weight, number of units, whether the cargo is self-propelled, required delivery date and any known port or equipment requirements.

Why is Uruguay important to Freightport's model?

Uruguay is not simply a destination for us. It functions as a strategic regional gateway. Montevideo receives ocean and RoRo services from international origins, and from there cargo can be coordinated onward into Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile through regional inland and multimodal logistics, supported by customs coordination and free-zone infrastructure where applicable.

Can Freightport handle machinery, vehicles, project and OOG cargo in the same operation?

Yes. Many industrial and project shipments combine several cargo types, for example machinery alongside supporting components or accessories. Freightport plans the operation around the full cargo set rather than treating each piece in isolation.

Does Freightport handle standard containerized (FCL) cargo?

Yes, when it's part of a broader industrial, automotive or project supply chain, for example spare parts, components or accessories moving alongside a larger shipment. FCL is complementary to our core focus rather than the center of our business.
