The agreement recently signed between the government of Santa Fe and the province of San Juan, aimed at enabling San Juan’s mining production to be exported through Santa Fe’s port system, was very positively assessed by Terminal Puerto Rosario (TPR), which described it as “a strategic step toward the development of a competitive and sustainable federal logistics corridor.”

The local port terminal publicly expressed its support for the agreement and stated that “as a fundamental link in the provincial logistics network, TPR, as a multipurpose terminal, has the experience, infrastructure of areas and docks, and road and rail connectivity needed to handle the new national mining matrix safely and efficiently.”

The terminal already handles import and export cargoes from the sector, consolidating its position as the strategic port for Argentine mining and reaffirming its commitment to being a reliable partner.

“The recent project cargo operations, linked to the logistics of new barges, demonstrate TPR’s ability to coordinate complex maneuvers. These operational capabilities make it possible to integrate mining projects with the Hidrovía, optimizing costs and transit times,” it noted.

The joint work between Santa Fe and San Juan has a dual objective. On the one hand, to develop competitive logistics at the national level so that part of Argentina’s mining production can be exported via the waterway and Santa Fe’s ports—key economic players within the logistics network—thereby expanding export alternatives to the world and generating employment, foreign-exchange earnings, local roots, and federal development. On the other hand, to contribute Santa Fe’s industrial capacity (more than 6,400 companies, specialized engineering, and experience in energy, oil, and gas) to the country’s new mining matrix.
