TecPlata Becomes the First Terminal in Buenos Aires to Achieve BASC Certification

TecPlata, a leading port terminal in Buenos Aires, has become the first terminal in the region to receive BASC (Business Alliance for Secure Commerce) certification, a move that strengthens its commitment to security and operational efficiency in international trade.

BASC is a global, non-profit organization that promotes secure trade by collaborating with governments, regulatory bodies, and international organizations. The certification ensures that certified companies follow strict security protocols aimed at preventing illegal activities such as smuggling, drug trafficking, terrorism, and cargo theft. TecPlata’s achievement marks a significant step forward in enhancing safety standards within the supply chain, making it the first port terminal in Buenos Aires to be recognized with this certification.

By obtaining the BASC certification, TecPlata joins an international network of businesses that adhere to rigorous security management practices. This certification is expected to boost the terminal’s credibility, facilitate smoother inspections by authorities, and optimize port logistics processes. Additionally, it aims to reduce security risks and operational costs through the implementation of strict security controls, while distinguishing TecPlata in a competitive market that values global security standards.

The certification also offers several practical benefits for TecPlata and its clients. These include international recognition through the World BASC Organization (WBO), improved relationships with authorities, and access to specialized audits and training for continuous operational improvements. Moreover, the certification will help facilitate international trade by promoting secure and efficient exchanges between countries.

TecPlata’s decision to pursue BASC certification underscores its ongoing efforts to innovate and align with the highest global security standards. By becoming part of the BASC network, the terminal strengthens its collaboration with customs and international agencies, enabling better risk management and secure trade flows without disrupting border controls.

This milestone reflects TecPlata’s broader commitment to ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable port operations, contributing to the overall growth of global trade and security.
