The route is designed to handle at least 2 monthly connections between the ports of Santa Fe and La Plata and from there to the world

The first delivery from the port of Santa Fe in the direction of the Port of La Plata has been dispatched and thus marks the beginning of a logistics cycle with the TecPlata container terminal, which offers a multitude of business opportunities, it said.

José María Lojo, CEO of the Puerto de la Plata Management Consortium, said: “There is a great opportunity for our port to increasingly become a resource that not only contributes to the economic development of La Plata and the region, but also a generator of employment and social progress. “

Lojo celebrated the completion of the logistics cycle that connects Santa Fe with the TecPlata container terminal and whose ultimate destination is the Asian continent as “the beginning of a network that can be very fruitful for both regions.”

?? The port is an alternative river link, in this case for the central, north-east and north-west regions of the country, but can be extended to Tierra del Fuego, given the possibility of expansion through a network of coasts, ?? explained Lojo, who also hoped for a future rail link with the rest of the country.

The board also underlined the competitive advantages of transport by water or rail because it was “safe and ecologically sustainable, economical and rational”. “

The route is designed to have at least 2 monthly connections between the ports of Santa Fe and La Plata and from there to the world, with the possibility of increasing both the size and the frequency of shipments.

Freight on Wednesdays from Puerto Santa Fe on the Bagual Barge – managed by Newport Management – with the ship Jacarandá of the shipping company Log-In, departed for Brazil and then transferred to Santos with an Evergreen ship, with final destination the Asian continent.

Insuga and Adecoagro were the first to use this new service from the port of La Plata, exporting bone meal to Vietnam and milk powder to Singapore.
