Five highways connect the city in all directions as also do the Ferrocarril Pampeano and Ferrosur Roca railways.

Coming west from the Atlantic Ocean the SBM buoys for the handling of hydrocarbons can be found off Punta Ancla and Punta Cigueña, followed by the Puerto Rosales and Puerto Belgrano Naval Base.

Argentina has a coastline of 4.000 km. in length and two important navigable rivers, the Paraná and the Uruguay, which before joining up into the River Plate, they go through considerable industrial and rural areas.

The communication and transport needs generated a maritime development which includes a hundred of ports which can be classified into two main types, river navigation from the Port of Iguazú to the Port of La Plata; and maritime navigation from the Port of Mar del Plata in the Province of Buenos Aires to the Port of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego.

In 1993 the government passes Law Nº 24,093, known as "Law on Port Activities" related to the management and operation of all state and private ports on the national territory.

LAW 24.093: ARGENTINE PORTS

Law 24.093 also states that at the ports of Bahía Blanca, Quequén, etc. These societies so formed should assure the particiation of importers, exporters, barge or ship operators, stevedoring contractors, ship or cargo service operators as well as port labour.
