For the next 25 years, Jan De Nul will be responsible for deepening, modernizing and maintaining Argentina’s main waterway under a concession agreement that allows the company to collect toll fees from passing vessels. The company has maintained the Paraná River since 1995.

The concession for the 1,400-km-long Paraná River forms part of the Hidrovía Paraguay–Paraná, an inland waterway system connecting the Paraguay and Paraná rivers. This waterway enables large-scale cargo transport between inland regions of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina to ports on the Atlantic Ocean.
