Dock Sud Port carried out a trade mission to China, Singapore and Turkey with the aim of strengthening its international standing and generating new development opportunities. The Chairwoman of the Port Management Consortium, Mónica Litza, led the meetings with port authorities and international operators to advance cooperation, infrastructure and modernization.
Meetings with International Operators
In China, the delegation visited the Port of Nansha and took part in institutional meetings in Guangzhou, where a Letter of Intent was signed to establish a Friendship Ports relationship. There were also exchanges with COSCO SHIPPING Bulk Transport, focused on the Panamax fleet and multipurpose vessel segments, aimed at exploring opportunities related to general cargo movement. In Shenzhen, the visit to DaChan Bay provided insight into experiences in logistics integration, digitalization and electrification of operations, as well as the chance to establish contacts with that terminal and with Shenzhen Port Group.
Singapore and Turkey
The mission continued in Singapore, where Litza met with authorities from PSA International, including its global CEO, Ong Kim Pong, during visits to the Pasir Panjang and Tuas terminals, focused on phased expansion models, technology and large-scale infrastructure planning. Finally, in Turkey, meetings were held with Beldeport and COREX Holding, centered on port development, productive integration and logistics connectivity.
Infrastructure as an Integrated System
One of the key takeaways from the mission was the need to view port infrastructure as an integrated system, in which operational capacity, connectivity, technology and services evolve in a coordinated manner. Litza stated that port competitiveness is built through infrastructure, planning and the ability to anticipate future needs, and noted that the world's major ports do not wait for operational constraints to appear before planning their growth.
Long-Term Planning
The head of the Port Management Consortium stated that port development must be planned with a vision that goes beyond management terms, since infrastructure requires continuity, technically sound projects and a strategic outlook that allows the capabilities needed in the future to be prepared today. For Dock Sud, this approach aims to strengthen growth planning, improve competitiveness conditions and keep pace with the changes taking place in international trade.
Next Steps
The meetings opened new institutional and commercial channels for Dock Sud Port, with possibilities for knowledge exchange, technical cooperation and the assessment of future projects. Litza concluded that the challenge is to turn these international contacts into lasting relationships and to draw on the experience of major operators to continue building a more competitive, modern Dock Sud Port that is prepared for growth.
