La Comisión Administradora del Río de la Plata (CARP) said that Boskalis International Uruguay and Jan De Nul have been shortlisted to continue in the running in the international tender to dredge the Martín García Channel, a five-year contract that seeks to ensure the navigability of a key route for regional trade.

Jan De Nul, which has just been awarded in consortium with Servimagnus the concession for the Paraná-Paraguay waterway for 25 years, and Boskalis now move on to the stage of opening the financial bids, scheduled for June 25 in Buenos Aires.
