RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – After the Uruguayan government’s announcement to dredge the access channel to the Port of Montevideo to a depth of 14 meters, Argentina reacted with a letter from the president of the Argentine delegation to the Administrative Commission of the Río de la Plata (CARP) Diego Tettamanti, in which he warns that Uruguay is only authorized to dredge up to 13 meters. Uruguay’s response was given in two communiqués from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, warning that two Argentine mega-projects in the Río de la Plata (Magdalena Channel and Underwater Outfall) still depend on Uruguay’s decisions in the CARP.
