CROWLEY LAUNCHES MERCOSUR BARGE SERVICE
A Crowley Marine Services subsidiary has started a weekly feeder barge
service linking Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Asuncion and other ports along
the Parana, Paraguay and Uruguay river system.
Crowley Marine Services Paraguay S.R.L will run the service with two
3,000-horsepower pushboats, two ocean tugs and four flat-deck ocean and
river barges.
Crowley said it may extend the service north of Asuncion to haul
containers, vehicles and project cargo to Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and Matto
Grosso, Brazil.
