Puerto Quequén is working on one of the largest agricultural cargo shipments recorded in its history. The milestone was set by the bulk carrier Seralia, which docked at berth 3 of the port facility (ACA Terminal) to load 68,000 tons of Argentine soybeans destined for China. Its arrival was completed with the assistance of the tugboats Diamond Cay and Rua Don José.
The vessel sails under the flag of Panama and has a length of 229 meters, while the beam reaches 32 meters. The commercial operation is in charge of the firm Syngenta, with agency services provided by Brisamar S.A., and stevedoring is under the responsibility of the company Pleamar.
From the Puerto Quequén Management Consortium they stated that “its imposing presence -of the vessel- at the local dock is the direct reflection of the competitiveness, draft and predictability policies promoted by the Puerto Quequén Management Consortium, led by its president, Mariano Carrillo.”
“With this volume, the operation is directly positioned among the four largest agricultural shipments ever recorded in the history of Puerto Quequén, an achievement that validates the strategic role of the port as one of the main agro-export gateways of the country,” highlighted the port authority.
“The importance of guaranteeing efficiency in dredging and logistical modernization has been emphasized so that vessels of this size can operate at maximum cargo capacity, minimizing logistical costs and enhancing the value of production throughout the port hinterland,” they stated at the port.
“With Seralia operating at full capacity at its docks, Puerto Quequén confirms that when the countryside produces, the port exports with the highest international standards, consolidating the virtuous circle of regional and national economic development,” highlighted the Consortium.
