Two months after starting dredging projects Santa Fé Port resumes river activities

One month after starting a dredging program to ensure navigation from the access channel to the grain terminal, the Port of Santa Fé, in Argentina, received the Paraguayan flag vessel ‘Tireless’ to be loaded with 2,100 tons of broken maize destined for Uruguay. The terminal is storing around 30,000 tons of grain. The silos of the agricultural bulk terminal have a maximum storage capacity of 56,000 tons of grain and between 20 and 30 trucks are received daily. The grains are classified according to quality and the site has operated with historic levels of grains – mostly corn.
Despite the historic low faced by the Paraná River, which has damaged the waterway, the recent investments made in dredging the Port of Santa Fé have enabled medium-sized vessels to navigate normally, both with and without cargo.
