QUEQUÉN PORT MAINTAINS STRONG MOMENTUM: 35 VESSELS IN SEPTEMBER AND INTENSE ACTIVITY IN OCTOBER
Quequén Port continues to strengthen its role as a key logistics hub in the region. With 35 vessels operated during September and high rotation rates in the first half of October, the port reaffirms its strategic importance for Argentina’s foreign trade.
In September 2025, the port handled a significant number of operations, managing both imports and exports to and from international markets such as China, India, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Angola, and Bangladesh.
Exported goods included major agricultural products such as soybeans, corn, wheat, barley, sunflower pellets, and sunflower oil. On the import side, the focus was on fertilizers including MAP, DAP, urea, and UAN-32.
To support this level of throughput, the Port Management Consortium carried out infrastructure upgrades, including expanding electrical capacity, replacing cabling, and conducting repaving and maintenance works on the operational yards of docks 8, 9, and 10 to better handle the heavy truck traffic.
High Vessel Turnover in October
In the first weeks of October, operations remained intense, with up to 12 vessels handled simultaneously on some days. Activities included both grain loading and fertilizer unloading, with consistent flows to and from Asia and South America.
Key export commodities during this period included soybeans, corn, wheat, and both feed and malting barley. On the import side, fertilizer products such as MAP, DAP, and urea remained dominant.
Notably, the port successfully operated up to five Panamax vessels at once on specific days, coordinating movements across both margins: while some ships were unloading fertilizers in Necochea, others were loading grains in Quequén, with confirmed destinations in Asia and the Middle East.
This performance highlights Quequén Port’s ability to manage peak activity without compromising service quality. Thanks to solid infrastructure, efficient planning, and operational scalability, the port stands out as a central player in Argentina’s agri-export chain.
