What does the creation of the National Ports and Navigation Agency mean? The Argentine government has taken a significant step toward optimizing its port and navigation administration by establishing the National Ports and Navigation Agency (ANPYN). This new entity consolidates the functions of the General Ports Administration (AGP) and the Undersecretariat of Ports and Waterways, aiming to streamline operations, reduce redundancy and costs (79% reduction in personell) and enhance efficiency. The ANPYN will oversee the Paraná River Waterway, a critical channel for Argentina's foreign trade and a vital link for neighboring countries like Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Among its key responsibilities are managing infrastructure projects, fostering private-sector collaboration, and improving logistics to make Argentina’s commerce more competitive globally. With this restructuring, the focus is on creating a leaner, more agile organization capable of meeting the challenges of modern trade and navigation.

Ushuaia is innovating in tourism with South America's first capsule hotel, "Underground Capsule". Since November, this unique accommodation has been welcoming travelers seeking a minimalist experience inspired by Japanese architecture. With only 34 rooms, this hotel offers both single and double capsules, featuring modern amenities like free Wi-Fi, a communal kitchen, and an American breakfast. The hotel’s location, just a block from the main avenue, puts guests close to Ushuaia’s vibrant dining and shopping scene, as well as its iconic landmarks like the Prison at the End of the World. This is a clear sign of Ushuaia’s growing infrastructure, ready to cater to the increasing demand of adventure tourism.

Mirgor Group presents plan for a new tourist cruise terminal in Ushuaia 🚢 The government of Tierra del Fuego's Private Initiative Law has opened the door for ambitious public-private collaborations, and Mirgor has stepped up with an important project: a new cruise terminal in Ushuaia's port. Recently approved by the Provincial Directorate of Ports (DPP), this initiative is a strategic step forward for the region. Spanning 6,800 m² of indoor space and 1,900 m² of outdoor and semi-covered areas, the terminal will offer a modern, functional infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of the cruise industry. The terminal will feature integrated spaces for logistics, administrative, and technical support, enabling smooth and efficient port operations. By investing in world-class infrastructure, the project aims to elevate Ushuaia as a premier global destination, boosting tourism and economic development. Cruise activity is essential for Tierra del Fuego, driving employment, local commerce, and positioning Ushuaia as the gateway to Antarctica. #antarcticagents #ushuaia #tierradelfuego #cruise #cruiseindustry #cruisetravel #antarctica #antarctic #terminal #port #maritime #tourism
