Home/Capabilities/06 — Port, Customs & Regulatory
Port, Customs & Regulatory
Ports and terminals chosen on the project's real technical and commercial requirements and on total landed cost — then navigated with port, customs and maritime authorities, with compliance and transparency intact.
01 — What is actually being decided
The cheapest port is rarely the cheapest route.
Port choice fixes the vessel, the inland leg and the customs regime. It is compared on what the whole chain costs.
- 01Does the berth offer the draft, length and quay strength the vessel and the cargo need?
- 02Is crane capacity on the quay, on the vessel, or brought in — and at what cost?
- 03Where is the cargo stored, and can the access roads carry it out of the port?
- 04Which tidal, navigational or pilotage limits restrict the call?
- 05Which customs regime applies: temporary admission, transit, special or project-specific?
- 06In Argentina, does the project qualify under RIGI — and what does that change for its logistics?
- 07Which authorities, terminal operators and stakeholders must be engaged, and in what order?
02 — Process
From port shortlist to cleared cargo.
Port specialists, pilots, bathymetric surveyors and customs professionals are engaged as the study requires, under one executive lead.
- 01
Port & terminal survey
Draft, berth characteristics, quay strength, crane availability, storage, Ro-Ro access and productivity.
- 02
Navigation & depth
Access channels, turning basins, tides, currents, tug requirements and depth confirmation where needed.
- 03
Landed-cost comparison
Port A against Port B on total logistics cost, not port tariff alone.
- 04
Customs strategy
Import and export regimes, temporary admission, exemptions, documentation and permits, from the planning stage.
- 05
Stakeholder engagement
Port, customs and maritime authorities, infrastructure agencies and terminal operators, coordinated in sequence.
