Jan de Nul-led VNA takes over Hidrovía, cuts tolls 13.5% to $3.80/ton

Vía Navegable Argentina (VNA), a consortium of Jan de Nul and Servimagnus, has officially assumed control of Argentina's Hidrovía waterway and reduced the toll rate by 13.5% to US$3.80 per net registered ton. The toll cut signals a shift in operational management of a critical export corridor, potentially improving cost competitiveness for Argentine agricultural exports. The long-term impact on infrastructure investment and maintenance remains uncertain.
