ZIM’s new Patagonia Express Service starts calling ICTSI Argentina

ZIM's new service links Argentina to the Caribbean and the US Gulf Coast via the ports of Kingston in the Caribbean and Houston in the Gulf of Mexico.

The service made its first call to TecPlata with the arrival of the 1,000 teu-boxship Contship Key, and with its current network configuration, it is expected to call every 45 days.

“We are pleased to receive the Contship Key at TecPlata and start this new connection with the North American gulf coast. This strategic alliance with ZIM enables us to offer our clients new services and logistics distribution. We are confident that this service will strengthen TecPlata’s position as a strategic trade port on the East Coast of South America,” said Juan Pablo Trujillo, TecPlata's chief executive officer.

Zim’s Patagonia Express service will bring TecPlata new opportunities to clients through this service, which takes advantage of the terminal’s modern port infrastructure and world-class standard of operation. ZIM’s arrival in TecPlata further expands the connectivity of La Plata beyond the Latin America region.
