The Tecplata Container Terminal has announced it will begin regular operations from April. The terminal concessionaire, Philippines’ International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), has signed a 3-year contract with the Brazilian shipping company Login. From April 2 Login will start calling at Tecplata as part of its current bi-weekly South Atlantic service. The service already calls at Rio de la Plata Terminal (TRP). The first vessel “Jacarandá” will set sail from TRP on April 2, and it will arrive at Tecplata the following day.
