Montevideo is the hub port of the River Plate: tankers clean and prepare tanks here between a clean-product discharge and a vegetable-oil loading up river, bulk carriers wait for their berth or take bunkers at the offshore anchorage, and time charters are delivered and redelivered at Recalada. It is also where cargo interests want an independent surveyor before the vessel commits to the next cargo.
UPRIVER Marine attends Montevideo and the anchorage for cargo tank inspections and tank cleaning assistance, hold inspections, on-hire / off-hire surveys and bunker quantity surveys, on behalf of charterers, owners and cargo interests.
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.
