Argentina reactivates Integrated Naval Base construction in Ushuaia

The Argentine government is reactivating the construction of the Integrated Naval Base in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. The project, which has been in planning for decades, aims to strengthen Argentina's presence in the South Atlantic and serve as a strategic logistical and scientific hub for Antarctica.

Defense Minister Carlos Presti and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno recently visited the site to evaluate the terrain and logistical challenges. The project includes several infrastructure components, most notably a 585-meter pier and an Antarctic logistics pole. The government intends to launch five to six simultaneous public tenders to accelerate the process, with work expected to begin on January 2, 2027.

The total investment is estimated to be between USD 400 million and USD 500 million, with the government stating that the project will be funded entirely through national resources without external financing. The administration aims to complete the primary works by late 2029.
