Argentina Reopens Waterway Concession Process, Launches 10-Day Review of Draft Tender for Vía Navegable Troncal

The move seeks input to shape a risk‑bearing private concession without a state guarantee.

Overview

  • ANPYN published Resolution 61/2025 in the Official Gazette, opening a public observation stage for draft specifications and terms.
  • For 10 days, stakeholders and the public can review the draft tender documents and a UNCTAD recommendations report and submit written comments.
  • Once the window closes, ANPYN will evaluate submissions, issue a final report, complete the tender documents and call a national and international competition.
  • The concession seeks a private operator to modernize, dredge, redredge, signal, operate and maintain Argentina’s main fluvial‑maritime corridor.
  • The process restarts after a February annulment to broaden competition and proceeds under the port governance changes established by DNU 3/2025; the corridor spans the Paraná to the Río de la Plata, serving about 60 terminals that handle roughly 80% of exports.
