South American logistics and transport developments
Overview
Logistics and transport infrastructure in Argentina and Chile are undergoing various operational and strategic developments. In Argentina, the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway has entered a new 25-year concession under the Vía Navegable Argentina consortium, which has reduced tolls by 13.5% to improve agro-industrial export competitiveness. Additionally, officials are discussing the restoration of fluvial transport via barge services between Reconquista and Goya to lower costs for trade between Santa Fe and Corrientes provinces.
In Chile, the Los Libertadores mountain pass, a vital link between Chile and Argentina, has faced significant disruptions due to heavy snowfall, including a 34-day shutdown that impacted supply chains. To address transport safety, the Empresa Portuaria Valparaíso and the Ruta 68 a la Costa concessionaire have initiated coordination meetings with public and private entities to improve road safety and emergency response protocols for freight and passenger mobility.
