Measures in ports

This is as a result of the forceful measures launched by the Ship Drivers’ Union (Siconara), which ignored the mandatory conciliation for 15 days launched by the Ministry of Labor to unblock the conflict that began due to a claim for salary recomposition.

In this regard, it was noted that “The energy matrix is ​​being affected since tankers are prevented from loading crude oil and product. If the strike is extended, it could mean energy shortages for our economy.”

“Many of the ships operated by companies associated with the Chambers that make up FENA are affected by the transport of fuel both for the internal market and for power plants, so the paralysis of these would entail a concrete risk of shortages in a short time. “explained the camera.

According to the report, the measure paralyzes 32 port tugboats, 13 oil tankers, 2 supply vessels and 1 pusher tugboat, a total of 48 ships paralyzed.

Frigate Liberty

The situation had put in check the return of the Fragata Libertad to Buenos Aires. Initially, she was unable to enter the port and had to sail to La Plata, where she spent several hours.

Finally, the school ship that sailed for four months as part of its 50th instruction trip returned to the City at 6:00 p.m.

The labor portfolio had interceded at noon to suspend any measure for a period of two weeks and, in the course of it, bring the parties closer to a solution.
