Waterways, Inland and Cruise Ports TAG

Chair of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Waterways, Inland and Cruise Ports

Port Controller - General Administration of Ports (AGP) of Argentina

Within the framework of the XIII Regular Meeting of the Committee held in Roatan, Honduras, Argentina, through the General Administration of Ports, was reelected as Chair of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Waterways, Inland and Cruise Ports.

The beginning of a new mandate implies new challenges and horizons. We are aware of the importance for both our country and our region of an efficient and competitive management of the Trunk Waterway. We will continue working to achieve an integrated port system that efficiently fulfills its role as a fundamental link in the foreign trade chain of each of our countries.

With regards to the cruise industry, we have consolidated our role as the most important port in the country with record numbers compared to the last 10 years. In view of the 2024/2025 season, we have launched new measures with the objective of encouraging the arrival of larger cruise ships, which directly implies a greater volume of passengers, and therefore a direct promotion of tourism and general economic development.

On behalf of the AGP, we assume this new commitment with the greatest of responsibilities, and with the certainty that with the efforts of all CIP member countries, we will achieve regional growth in terms of trade, logistics and tourism.
