The multipurpose dock, 140 meters long, can handle vessels of 130 meters in length.

 

In the Santa Fe Free Trade Zone (ZFS), in Argentina, a multipurpose port was put into operation, requiring an investment of US$90 million. It is the first in the country to be directly linked to a free trade zone. The port, developed by PTP Group, is located on the Paraná River, on a 70-hectare site with a river front of more than 600 meters. Its direct access to the waterway allows the integration of logistics operations with river transport.

According to El Cronista, the multipurpose dock is 140 meters long and 30 meters wide and can accommodate Panamax vessels of up to 230 meters in length.

 

Storage and operation infrastructure

The port includes 20 tanks with a total storage capacity of 120,000 m³, each with a volume of 6,200 m³. These are designed to store products such as bait, fuels and liquid fertilizers. The port has a self-generation energy system based on a photovoltaic park installed on the premises. This system ensures operation through renewable energies, reducing dependence on external sources.

International recognition

The ZFS has been included in a list of the 10 best free trade zones in the world in 2024 according to information from Financial Times. It was also highlighted as the second best industrial zone of the year in the Americas.
