Port costs
and services set to rise in Argentina as inflation hits boat mooring
tariffs
Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS), the world’s
leading maritime services provider, is advising of a 23 per cent increase in
boat mooring and unmooring tariffs in the Argentinian ports of San Lorenzo,
Rosario and San Nicolas from October 1 2012. The inflationary rise is likely
to have a great impact over port costs and services nationwide.
Says Francisco Villagran, Regional Operations
Manager, South America; “Real inflation levels in Argentina are currently
ranging from 20 to 30 per cent which is strongly affecting industry. This
significant increase in mooring tariffs at these key ports can only impact port
costs nationwide and we expect port services will have to follow
shortly.”
ISS Argentina is continuing to monitor events
in the country for shipowners and operators and advising clients locally how to
minimise the effect to their operations.”
