Crude and Gas port project
Grains and Markets:
Soya bean trading in Argentina has accelerated thanks to the Government “bonus” exchange rate offered to farmers. There are rumors that one, two or three Panamax fulls of soybeans were purchased by China. But no confirmation.
Peru and Mexico are looking for Supramaxes full maize, February dates.
The forecasts for both maize and soyabeans are all over the place. Specially considering they are only just staring sowing, but the drought situation is finishing, in certain areas.
Crude and Gas port project:
YPF, the state owned oil company has chartered the mv “BG Warrior” to perform soundings and sea bed surveys in the area of Punta Colorada and Sierra Grande where they are planning to install two SBMs to export crude oil from Vaca Muerta shale oil and gas field. This includes the construction of storage tanks on shore and a 700 km oil pipeline to feed the installation. The planned storage capacity is of 7 million barrels. A further stage (details not disclosed) is to construct a pier for loading LNG vessels.
