The Main Navigable Waterway (VNT) begins a new phase under a private management scheme, with a program of strategic works aimed at improving navigation on one of the main routes for Argentine foreign trade. The new scheme also includes a reduction in tolls, which will decrease from US$4.30 to US$3.80.
The model aims to reduce logistics costs, improve infrastructure, and increase the competitiveness of Argentine production. The concession also includes new works and technology to modernize the navigation system and strengthen safety in one of the country's most important river corridors.
Greater depth and expansion of the navigable waterway
Among the main points of the new scheme is the deepening of the De la Plata and Paraná rivers, a key project to facilitate the transit of larger vessels and improve navigation conditions.
The expansion of the Main Navigable Waterway in Entre Ríos is also planned, with the opening and maintenance of new sections of the river corridor. In particular, the project includes work on the Paraná Guazú, Paraná Bravo, and Pasaje Talavera.
These works aim to improve connectivity between different points of the waterway and create better conditions for cargo transport.
Technology for safer navigation
The new phase of the concession also incorporates state-of-the-art technology to modernize the operation of the Main Navigable Waterway.
