Trucks Drivers' strike * UPDATE February 08th *

Date: 08/02/2018
Good morning
 
Please note following update of Truck Drivers' strike:
1. Blockades at roads keep going.
2. Truck drivers call for the summoning by using the Social Networks. Many of their intentions, like blockades at Terminals or other spots, are not executed.
3. The Government informs they will maintain their position and will proceed with criminal complaints and the use of public force.
4. A Terminal's executive (close to the Government) estimates that, if criminal complaints continue, the strike will be lifted soon.
5. All terminals are affected by lack of trucks. To a lesser extent, those terminals that receive wagons and / or load by-products or Soy from Paraguay are affected.
6. The main exporter, AFA, informs that the situation is dinamic and they observed that Argentine National Gendarmerie are intervening the blockades.
Their storages closest to the ports (less than 100 k m) are dispatching trucks, normally.
 
Please note situation by Terminal as follows:
  • Renova: They are not receiving trucks due to mainteinance works. They will back to normal next week.
