Argentina’s TecPlata receives service connecting Paraguayan and Brazilian ports

TecPlata, an Argentine subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc., recently received a new service that connects the ports of Paraguay to the port of La Plata and, from there, to the main ports in Brazil.

The service is jointly operated by Independencia Shipping Lines (ISL) and Log-In Logistica Intermodal through regular shipping routes that currently operate in the region.

“Thanks to this connection, TecPlata takes on a more relevant role in the region’s logistics. The operational efficiency of our terminal allows barges to operate without the delays they usually experience in other ports, generating significant benefits for customers ”, explains Bruno Porchietto, CEO of TecPlata.

ISL, a fluvial cargo transportation company that connects the ports of Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay, operates the Asunción – La Plata – Asunción section using three of its own vessels which have a combined capacity of 510 TEU.

Log-In, on the other hand, covers Brazil – La Plata – Brazil and makes bi-weekly stopovers at TecPlata since April 2019.

Through the service, TecPlata aims to capture a significant volume of trade destined for Paraguay, which, in many cases, moves by land transport.
