Authorities from the National Ports Administration of Uruguay (ANP) highlighted the positioning of the port as a business development center in the pulp industry, in addition to its role in container operations.
“It is without a doubt a country development project open to the world that allows us to position ourselves and be in a position to compete with other ports, with other countries,” said José Luis Falero, Minister of Transportation and Public Works of Uruguay .
“Uruguay today goes one step further, as it has done in its history, definitely convinced that the growth of a country occurs betting on what the Public Administration is but in partnership with private actors, as is the case”, Falero added.
