Paysandu (UYPDU)

Due to shallow draught passages on the Uruguay River, the port is now only used by very small coasters and bunker barges. The fact that the port lies in the forestry production area may re-vitalise it in the future, but only for river craft and barges.

Summer.

Paysandu is situated on the left bank of the Uruguay River.

Max draught 5m and 3,200DWT from the latest audit.

Approx 180,000t of cargo and 4,000TEU handled annually.

Rada de Paysandu, which has depths of 7.0-21.0m in the fairway, extends across the whole width of the main branch of the river abreast the port, but a bank extends approx 0.1nm from the W side at its N end. The most difficult part of the passage between Conception (Argentina) and Paysandu, where the three passes meet, between 180km and 200km on the River Uruguay, of Vera (depth 6.40m), Urguiza & Almiron , where the depth is approx 4.0m if dredging is kept up (depth has also been reported as 2.5m). Depths alongside between 5.7m and 8.8m.
