Asunción, Agencia IP.- Technicians of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay continued with the review of the navigability conditions of the Paraná River, from its confluence with Paraguay’s River until the Santa Fe Port, in the framework of the II Expert Meetings that took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

On the occasion, beacons, route adjustments, and complementary navigation aids were discussed. The point of the most significant debate was regarding the interventions carried out on the path.

In all analyzed cases, it was confirmed that the time between the detection of anomalies in the navigation channel, the adjustment of the trace, and its signaling is made during periods when they are not sufficient and efficient to guarantee safe navigability.

The technicians of the Paraguayan delegation estimated that, from the information presented by Argentina, an average periodicity of interventions that accounts for a reaction time of 150 days for the correction of traces, which is why they rated that these interventions do not provide conditions of predictability necessary for efficient navigation.
