    "The agreement concluded with the shipping company Log In is the initial link in a series of agreements that allow to increase the level of activity until reaching the maximum operational capacity," said TecPlata CEO Bruno Porchietto.

    "We are convinced that the start-up of the terminal will offer the country a logistics option equipped with the highest efficiency, technology and transparency."
