Uruguay inaugurates expanded Pier C in Port of Montevideo
Jun, 17, 2019 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 201925
Last week, newly expanded Pier C was inaugurated in the Port of Montevideo (Uruguay). The structure was enlarged by 180m, with a width of 34m and a draft of 14m, generating a dam of 540m. In addition, a three hectare patio was added to be used as a support area. Since Dike D is already multipurpose, the strategy is to have more docks and support areas to avoid falling into a bottleneck in infrastructure.
Pier C will carry out operations involving containers, cattle and cars amongst other goods. The initiative required investments of US$148.7m in pier C and US$82.5m in D, totaling US$231m and included dredging work.
