MARITIME TRANSPORTATION
Cargo maritime transport is another strategic means for Ecuadorian exports to the world market, such as bananas,
cocoa, coffee, and other products.
The port of Guayaquil is the most important in the country, due to the number of international traffic ships that arrive and the movement of cargo (not oil).
Other important ports are Puerto Bolívar, Esmeraldas and Manta.
