Asunción is Paraguay's largest city and is the hub of culture, industries, besides being the seat of the Government and the major port as well. River terminal serves the city because Paraguay River runs along the downtown area. Located strategically within a bay this is the point from where the freights both enter and leave the city on a regular basis. Another river terminal is present at Sajonia neighborhood with Shuttle Port at Ita Enramada. This is located exactly across from the Argentinean city Clorinda, Formosa.

There are no sea ports for freight shipping. Because of this reason, shipping does not occur directly but will first reach an Argentinean port before entering the country. To bring it to Asunción, transporters and shippers use the land shipping methods to deliver the vehicles and other cargo. Truck transportation is a popular mode in this regard.
