Rosario Islas Malvinas International Airport (ROS), north-west of the city, serves Rosario with domestic and some regional flights. For long-haul air cargo, Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) in Buenos Aires is the main gateway, reached by motorway. Rosario's main strength is water: the Gran Rosario port complex along the Paraná river, stretching from Timbúes and San Lorenzo south to Rosario and Villa Constitución, ships a large share of Argentina's grain, soybean meal and vegetable oil exports via the Paraná–Paraguay waterway.
The Rosario–Buenos Aires motorway (RN9) and the Rosario–Córdoba motorway meet at Rosario, while National Routes 33 and 34 run south-west and north. The Rosario–Victoria bridge crosses the Paraná to Entre Ríos. Freight railways bring grain from the interior to the port terminals. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Greater Rosario, including San Lorenzo, Puerto General San Martín and Villa Gobernador Gálvez.

Industries in Rosario and how we support them
Greater Rosario is the centre of Argentina's grain and oilseed industry, with crushing plants, port terminals and biodiesel producers along the Paraná. Food processing, agricultural machinery and metalworking are important, and General Motors builds cars in Alvear, south of the city. Crushing plants and terminals depend on imported machinery and spare parts, while food producers export by sea. Ziem Logistics supports these supply chains with air freight on our own air waybills via EZE, Next Flight Out for urgent spares, On-Board Courier for critical parts and FCL or LCL via the river ports or Buenos Aires. Customs clearance is handled by a partner team in the Ziem network, under the Ziem Logistics brand and to our procedures.
