TecPlata authorized to operate ships up to 337 meters long

The Argentine Naval Prefecture has authorized the Puerto La Plata Management Consortium to operate container ships up to 337 meters long and 48.31 meters wide, callIng exclusively at the TecPlata terminal.

“The administration’s main achievement here, aside from further developing operations at TecPlata, is that the maximum vessel LOA has been increased. Previously a city council resolution limited the operation to vessels up to 230 meters long. We have extended that to 320 meters and, days ago, we almost reached 340 meters. If we cannot receive ships that are operating in the services in this region, we do not exist as a port. We work in line with navigation safety requirements and with the Prefecture’s endorsement”, said José María Dodds, acting chairman of the Puerto La Plata Managing Consortium.
