The Port avails of a direct link to the AP9 –Atlantic Motorway, which connects Galicia from north to south. Vía the AP9 it is possible to access the Rías Baixas motorway (non-tolled), which facilitates the transport of goods to the interior of the Iberian Peninsula. The link to the AP9 also provides a connection with O Salnés high capacity motorway and Vilagarcía northern ring road. Whilst, its connection to the future Pontevedra motorway is due to be undertaken.
The port has its own railway track, which connects to the national transport network ADIF. The Port has improved its railway connection by means of the works for the Extension of the Railway to Ferrazo Dock (phase 1), so now the service is available from all its main quays.
Equally, Vilagarcía port´s nearness to both Santiago and Vigo airports favours any type of goods transfers around the world, even to the remotest places.
