The Uruguayan ports are getting ready to receive 260 million dollars of investments, equally divided between public and private funds by 2013. This financing is destined to enlarge the seven ports of the country under the responsibility of the National Ports Administration. Just for Montevideo, which handles 80 of the traffic, growth was 14% in 2005-2006. Uruguay in particular connects with and serves Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil ; a hinterland for which the growth is estimated at 150% over the next five years.
