Mar del Plata Port implements weighing discounts and new cold storage

The Mar del Plata Regional Port Consortium has announced several initiatives to enhance logistics and efficiency at the terminal. Through Resolution No. 1098/2026, the port has implemented a new discount scheme for truck weighing services. Users can access cumulative discounts of up to 30% off the general tariff, which is currently set at $50,000 plus VAT. These reductions are available to port service companies, permit holders, shipowners, and users who export through the port or exceed 50 weighings per month, provided they have no outstanding debts with the Consortium.

Additionally, the port has inaugurated ‘Punto Cero’, a new cold storage plant designed to store frozen products from the southeast Buenos Aires region. The facility has the capacity to store up to 200 40-foot containers, aiming to improve regional logistics by reducing the need for long-distance truck transport. This private sector investment is intended to strengthen the connection between production, storage, and commercialization, positioning Mar del Plata as a key hub for regional foreign trade.
