TecPlata, Argentina’s most modern port terminal, has been certified by the Argentine Naval Prefecture to handle docking maneuvers for Neo-Panamax vessels. The accreditation makes TecPlata the first terminal in Buenos Aires and in the country capable of receiving these large ships, enhancing the competitiveness of regional foreign trade, reports ICTSI.
“With this milestone, TecPlata has restored Argentina’s rightful position as a leader in international trade,” said Juan Pablo Trujillo, Tecplata chief executive officer. The certification of these docking maneuvers highlights TecPlata’s infrastructure and technical capabilities, being the only dock in Buenos Aires designed to accommodate upcoming improvements in the depth of the Navigable Waterway, as well as projections for the growth of Argentine foreign trade in the coming years.
