Overview
- On Monday the Agencia Nacional de Puertos y Navegación published Resolution 47/2026 creating the Consejo de Control de la Vía Navegable Troncal to follow the new private concession.
- The council is consultative: commissions will produce technical reports on traffic, environment, navigation safety, infrastructure, maintenance and regional logistics but their conclusions are non‑binding.
- Anpyn will preside the council, one province will hold the vice‑presidency, plenary sessions must meet every two months and Anpyn must deliver bimonthly reports on navigation and works.
- Santa Fe has publicly sought the vice‑presidency and proposed Rosario as the council’s permanent seat, reflecting the province’s stake in port activity and channel depth decisions.
- The concession under Jan De Nul–Servimagnus began after a July 7 contract and is expected to include a September tariff cut and works that will start once required environmental studies are completed, with the Hidrovía moving roughly 80 percent of Argentina’s foreign trade.
