The Argentine Delegation before the Administrative Commission of the River Uruguay (CARU in Spanish) has informed that, in an extraordinary meeting last Wednesday 10 May, the members of the Commission decided to cancel the Call for Bids to contract opening, deepening and maintenance dredging services for the River Uruguay between km 0 and km 206.8, including the access Channel to the Port of Concepcion del Uruguay.
The resolution was grounded on the Commission’s view that the offers made by the participating companies - Jan De Nul NV, Dredging International NV and Consorcio Boskalis – were highly excessive, considering market prices for similar services in the region.
The Argentine authorities before CARU also informed that the Commission is now studying different alternatives to find convenient and reasonable proposals to achieve the objective set.
