ICTSI’s TecPlata terminal has dredged its marine channels to a depth of 10 metres, with plans to deepen them further to 14 metres.

TecPlata, ICTSI’s Argentinian subsidiary, is the first port in Argentina to achieve carbon-neutral certification and the fifth within the ICTSI Group.

Argentina ranks among the world’s leading grain exporters, with numerous ports lining the banks of the Parana River for the shipment of agricultural products.

Argentina’s Ministry of Transport is now to issue two tenders for the Port of Buenos Aires, overturning an earlier plan to provide just one.

Argentina’s Ministry of Transport has extended the concession contracts for terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4 at Puerto Nuevo in Buenos Aires until 31 May 2024. The original contracts, which were awarded in 1993, officially expired in the February-November 2019 period, but were provisionally extended until 15 May 2020, effectively unifying all the expiry dates.

Following a protracted dispute, at the end of July, Buenos Aires’ T5 concessionaire BACTSSA was finally given leave to continue container handling operations for at least six more months. The HPH-controlled company handles an average of 220,000 TEU annually, or around 25% of the port’s container traffic, and its concession was due to expire in May.
