TecPlata, the new container terminal located in Argentina’s Puerto de La Plata, began operations, with an opening ceremony attended by the vice governor of the province of Buenos Aires, the Minister of Production and several other national, provincial and municipal officials.
The opening rites were highlighted by the arrival of Jacarandá, a vessel of Log-In, a Brazilian shipping line specializing in door-to-door logistics solutions which recently signed an agreement with TecPlata, a unit of Philippine-based port operator International Container Terminal Services Inc.
The arrival of the vessel, which has an overall length of 218 meters and a cargo capacity of almost 38 tons, marked the start of Log-In’s fortnightly operations at the terminal.
“This a first step for the company, and we firmly believe that this will pave the way for new agreements with more operators to maximize our current installed capacity of 450,000 TEUs,” said TecPlata CEO Bruno Porchietto.
