Port Captaincy
24/7 operational support to protect your time, your cargo, and your commercial outcome.
At Up River Marine, we provide hands-on port captain services for bulk carriers and tankers across Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil.

Pre-arrival planning & documentation review
Real-time coordination during loading or discharging
Monitoring of cargo operations and tank/hold readiness
Support during draft surveys, hose tests, and inspections
