The National Agency of Ports and Navigation (ANPyN) declared all ports that were operational prior to the enactment of the Port Activities Law (Law 24.093) to be provisionally enabled.
The head of the agency, Iñaki Arreseygor, signed Resolution 33/2025, which grants a period of 180 administrative business days —extendable at the discretion of the National Port Authority— for these ports to process and obtain their definitive authorization.
The resolution repeals Provision 32/2022 of the former Undersecretariat of Ports, Waterways and Merchant Marine, which regulated the submission of sworn statements to certify the operability of ports.
In its place, a new model of sworn statement is approved, accompanied by specific requirements that must be submitted by the responsible parties of the port facilities covered in Article 4 of Law 27.445, where the national State or the provinces are the titleholders of ownership, administration, or operation.
