Paraguayan shipowners are pushing for a reduction in toll fees on the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway, currently around US$1.30 per net registered ton, arguing that there is no justification for the rates and citing shortcomings in maintenance services. Meanwhile, the Argentine government is moving forward with the pre-award of the new concession for the Argentine stretch of the waterway to the consortium formed by Belgian company Jan De Nul and Argentine firm Servimagnus, with a contract expected to run for 30 years.
