The introduction of new pilotage regulations in Argentina (Decree 690/26) on 1 August 2026 has resulted in a nationwide disruption to pilotage services across all ports.

According to local reports, vessel activity is currently limited while the situation develops. Authorities are gathering information regarding affected vessel movements and are expected to engage with relevant stakeholders to support the continuity of services. At this stage, there is no official timeline for a return to normal operations.

We are closely monitoring developments and maintaining contact with local authorities and service providers. Further updates will be issued as additional information becomes available.
