The growing export expansion of Vaca Muerta is beginning to be reflected in changes to maritime operations linked to Argentina’s energy sector, with the emergence of LR2 (Long Range 2) tankers in hydrocarbon transport operations, marking a significant increase in scale and logistics capacity. This type of vessel, characterized by greater size and range, enables cost optimization and improved efficiency in fuel and derivative exports, reinforcing a trend toward greater sophist

The General Ports Administration (AGP) officially extended once again the toll discount for the northern section of the Main Navigable Waterway (VNT) between Santa Fe and Confluencia, maintaining until June 30, 2026 the reduced rate of US$1.30 per net registered ton (NRT) for international transport through Resolution 70/2026. The measure is based on the institutional transition resulting from the creation of the National Ports and Navigation Agency (ANPYN), which has delayed

Road freight transport costs in Argentina have increased 17.8% so far in 2026, according to the index prepared by the Argentine Federation of Freight Transport Business Entities (Fadeeac), reflecting strong pressure on the sector’s operating structure amid a highly volatile economic environment. The main driver behind the increases continues to be fuel prices, along with higher costs in areas such as labor, repairs, tires, general expenses, and rolling stock, directly affecti

The Argentine government, through General Resolution 5842/2026 issued by the Agency for Revenue and Customs Control (ARCA), introduced changes to the customs guarantees regime allowing reliable operators to replace traditional instruments —such as bank guarantees or insurance bonds— with digital sworn declarations managed directly through the customs IT system (SIM), aiming to simplify procedures, reduce financial and administrative costs, and improve efficiency without compr

The entry into force of the EU–Mercosur agreement on May 1 creates a strategic opportunity for Argentina, with projections that European investment could reach a stock of up to US$92 billion by 2030 and that exports to the bloc could nearly double, rising from US$8.499 billion in 2025 to around US$15.1 billion, driven by both growing European demand and increased market share. The European Union, already the country’s main foreign investor with US$75 billion (40% of total FDI

Regional integration between Argentina and Paraguay is gaining new strategic momentum through official missions and business meetings that have outlined a shared agenda focused on developing joint value chains and industrial cooperation, aiming to strengthen regional production and generate greater synergies between both countries. This approach seeks to advance toward a model of deeper productive integration, where coordination between public and private sectors can enhance

The Argentine government expanded the Factory Customs Regime (RAF) through an executive decree that modifies its original framework to extend it to all industries and their suppliers, aiming to improve competitiveness and facilitate production in a challenging economic context. The regime allows companies to import raw materials, parts, components, and capital goods without paying duties at entry, under a suspensive system where taxes are paid only if the final product is sol

The Agency for Revenue and Customs Control (ARCA) formalized a regulatory simplification measure for international land transport through General Resolution 5839/2026, which modifies the existing framework and removes the mandatory involvement of a customs broker in the establishment of certain guarantees, particularly for occasional operations, with the aim of streamlining cross-border transactions and aligning national regulations with international agreements under ATIT wi

A report by the international consultancy Rystad Energy places Vaca Muerta at the center of the new global energy map, projecting strong production growth in a context of rising international prices and supply tensions, which could drive a historic export surge for Argentina. According to the analysis, crude production could increase from around 600,000 barrels per day to 1 million by the end of the decade and up to 1.5 million by 2035, with more optimistic scenarios reaching

The port of Puerto Rosales reached a historic export record by completing a shipment of nearly 900,000 barrels of crude from Vaca Muerta in a single operation, reinforcing its role as a key hub for the export of Argentina’s unconventional oil. This milestone reflects the port’s growing operational capacity to handle larger volumes and responds to the momentum of energy development in the Neuquén Basin, in a context where port infrastructure supports production expansion and s

Argentina is approaching a turning point in its transport system through the combination of an expanded road network promoted by the national government and the integration of artificial intelligence into fleet management, enabling a shift from reactive models to proactive systems with real-time decision-making. In this context, the evolution toward bidirectional management between drivers and monitoring centers —based on large-scale data analysis— allows for anomaly detectio

The Argentine Chamber of Logistics Operators (CEDOL) will hold its 16th Logistics Meeting on April 29 at the Golden Center, consolidating itself as one of the sector’s key forums to analyze trends and project the future of logistics in Argentina and globally. The event will bring together business leaders, professionals, and specialists to exchange experiences and reflect on current supply chain challenges, with a program structured around two main themes: the role of artific

Amid peak activity during the main harvest season, the Argentine government —through SENASA— and the export sector agreed to implement a series of operational changes to streamline port operations and reduce delays in vessel loading, in response to growing pressure on the logistics system. The initiative brings together key stakeholders including exporters, port terminals, logistics operators, and the Shipping Center, aiming to identify bottlenecks and optimize sanitary contr

The so-called “Hormuz effect” is having a direct impact on logistics costs and the competitiveness of Argentina’s foreign trade, within a global context shaped by geopolitical tensions that drive up oil prices, increase international freight costs, and force companies to rethink their operational strategies. This scenario makes both imports and exports more expensive, eroding the competitiveness of Argentine products in international markets while raising the cost of imported
