Disabled ship replaced by AS Sabine

Following the mechanical problem that affected the“Varamo”, which is stationary in Puerto Deseado since Jan 4, the Danish shipping company Maersk will replace the vessel with the “AS Sabine” (IMO: 9813802). This ship currently operates on the Argentine coast. It will connect the maritime route of the Port of Mar del Plata, where it arrived on Jan 28, with the Patagonian terminals, according to Container Terminal No. 2 (TC2), from where exportable cargo is operated. It was the first time that the vessel will arrive at the local port, where, at this time, the first squid jiggers are beginning to arrive to unload the first squid tide of 2025. Maersk provides a biweekly service in the city and mainly transports frozen fish. It complements the operations of the French shipping company CMA CGM, which, since mid-May of 2024 has enabled the commercial route that links Mar del Plata with Santos to position Mar del Plata goods abroad. Maersk, however, has a longer time to reach the destination countries.

Supply ship broke down in Puerto Deseado

The 'Varamo' must be towed from Puerto Deseado, whiere it had arrived en route from Ushuaia on Jan 4, 2025, due to the breakdown of the reduction gear. It had the mission of transporting fishing and mining cargo. It is expected that around 95 containers that were on board will be unloaded, while awaiting the arrival of a tug to move it to the city of Montevideo or another port in the region but in Brazilian territory. In addition, the shipping company must have another ship to relieve the 'Varamo' in Puerto Deseado. There are many goods to move, in addition to the prompt income of the jiggers.
