Notwithstanding the fact that Paraguay is a mediterraneous country, it is logistically factible to ship containers using river barges at Asuncion Port and nearbies thanks to the existence of the river hydroway formed by the Paraguay and Parana rivers, allowing the access to the maritime transshipment ports of Montevideo and Buenos Aires. From said ports, the goods are shipped to their final destinations in Europe or the United States.
