Selo da Argentina / 50 centavos / 1954 / série 1954-1959 General San Martin e Motivos Locais / tema Paisagens Urbanas-Porto de Buenos Aires / azul / valor US 0.27 / Nota: O Porto de Buenos Aires é o principal porto da Argentina. É uma das principais saídas marítimas para as cargas provenientes do interior do país. O porto atual foi construído a partir de finais do século XIX, e se ampliou durante a primeira metade do XX. Hoje move aproximadamente 8.710.000 toneladas anuais de carga, ainda que o tráfego de passageiros —fundamental durante a época de ouro da imigração na Argentina— desapareceu quase por completo, com exceção das linhas de curta extensão de Buenos Aires até as cidades uruguaias de Colônia do Sacramento e Montevidéu.Argentine stamp / 50 centavos / 1954 / series 1954-1959 General San Martin and Local Motives / theme Urban Views-Buenos Aires Harbour / blue / rate US 0.27 / Note: The Port of Buenos Aires (Spanish: Puerto de Buenos Aires) is the principal maritime port in Argentina. Operated by the Administración General de Puertos (General Ports Administration), a state enterprise, it is the leading transshipment point for the foreign trade of Argentina. The current port is located in the city's Retiro ward, and is colloquially known as Puerto Nuevo (New Port). The Port of Buenos Aires handles around 11 million metric tons of cargo annually;[3] Dock Sud, which is owned by the Province of Buenos Aires, is south of the city proper, and handles another 17 million metric tons. Passenger traffic at the port peaked during the golden era of immigration in Argentina (until 1930), when the port was the site of the Hotel de Inmigrantes. In later decades, this was limited mainly to tourist visitors to Argentina, as well as Argentine visitors to Uruguay. A fast ferry service operated by Buquebus and Ferrylíneas operates short routes to and from the Uruguayan cities of Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo; Sturla transports tourists to and from Tigre, a popular weekend destination. The Benito Quinquela Martín Terminal, inaugurated in 2000, served 120 cruise ship arrivals with a total of 100,000 visitors in 2010.
