The Lower Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton Rouge is the largest grain export corridor in the United States, and its terminals work the same way the Paraná terminals do: midstream buoys, barge-to-ship transhipment, tight draft windows and a Bill of Lading figure that depends on the draft survey. Steel, fertiliser and project cargo complete the picture at the New Orleans wharves.
UPRIVER Marine covers New Orleans through its Orlando office and partner surveyors in Louisiana, offering draft surveys, hold inspections, on-hire / off-hire and bunker quantity surveys and steel cargo supervision for charterers and traders who already use us in the River Plate and Brazil.
Trusted maritime surveying and consulting across Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and the Paraná–Paraguay Waterway, with coverage in the main US Gulf and East Coast ports and key global ports.
We specialize in bunker quantity surveys, cargo supervision, and regulatory audits, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and peace of mind for shipowners and charterers.
