The authorities of the Port of Buenos Aires are carrying out various infrastructure works and implementing measures to improve services and significantly reduce costs and logistics times of the site.

Investments of US$75m have been made in various works, such as the one at the Port’s Dock F, where 10 hectares were filled with material extracted from the Paseo del Bajo works. In addition, a new port access will unify the customs area that is now spread across the jurisdiction, making it more operational and efficient.

The capacity of the Port Support Zone is being expanded by 157%. This is where the trucks wait for their turn to operate at the terminals. These improvements were made so that the 3,200 truck drivers that circulate the area daily can make good use of it.

In addition to the improvements that have been made to this site over the past four years, an agreement has recently been signed between the Port of Buenos Aires and YPF to advance the construction of a fuel outlet to fuel vehicles arriving via the newly opened Paseo del Bajo.

North of the sixth dike, 23 hectares were gained by building an external terminal – similar to those used in the around the world – that will double the current capacity of the port. Similarly, progress will be made in the construction of an exclusive cruise terminal on the first dike to promote cruise tourism.
