Uruguay River - Light Buoy / Navigation between Fray Bentos - Nueva Palmira
Date: 30/10/2018
As was previously informed, nowadays the navigation Nueva Palmira / Fray Bentos - Fray Bentos / Nueva Palmira is carried out with daylight only, following the river Pilots recommendation since most of the light buoys are out of the correct position or turned off.
With regards to this matter, we have been informed that during November or December, the beacoming of the first 90 kms of the Uruguay river would be ready, not only by placing the light buoys in the correct position and repairing the ones that are damaged, but also increasing the quantity of same to assure a safe navigation during the night passage.
On the other hand, we've been informed that the intention is to duly signpost up the channel until Paysandú port as from February 2019.
We'll keep you closely posted and updated .
