LHG Mining Integrates 127 Barges at Puerto Nueva Palmira, Uruguay

en.Wedoany.com Reported - LHG Mining completed the unloading of 14 barges this Monday (1st) at Puerto Nueva Palmira, managed by the National Port Administration (ANP). These barges were carried by the Portuguese-flagged vessel "AAL Hamburg" (IMO 9958767), which began operations last Friday (29th), marking the fifth of six barge transport voyages. Another voyage was completed by the "AAL Antwerp" (IMO 9958781).

To date, 86 barges built in Brazilian shipyards have arrived from Brazil. Additionally, four voyages from Colombia have delivered 41 barges and 10 tugboats.

Pablo Zengarini, International Logistics Specialist at LHG Mining, stated that the next voyage is expected to send another 14 barges from Brazil, completing the first batch of 100 arrivals from that source.

All barges are part of a plan to gradually integrate 400 barges and tugboats, which will double the existing fleet size of this mining company originating from a northern country.

Zengarini previously told Altamar News that after unloading, the barges will be transported to the port of Corumbá in the Mato Grosso do Sul region to join iron ore transport operations.

This process began in November 2025, when the first 16 barges arrived aboard the "AAL Hamburg," and will continue until 2028. It is part of the company's plan to integrate mining with large-scale river logistics. These barges are intended for transporting iron ore along the Paraguay-Paraná waterway, connecting the port of Corumbá to Puerto Nueva Palmira, located 2,500 kilometers downstream, for eventual overseas shipment.
