Maersk opens new $20m-plus logistics facility in Uruguay

A.P. Moller–Maersk has opened a new integrated logistics facility in Montevideo, Uruguay, following a private investment of more than US$20 million, expanding its container handling, storage and cargo services near the Port of Montevideo.

The 71,000-square-metre facility is located along the Route 1 access corridor, at the intersection of Camino Cibils and Camino Burghi. It brings together container equipment services, cargo handling and inland logistics operations in a single location, with the aim of improving connectivity between the port and regional supply chains.

The development provides storage capacity for 7,000 TEU, more than 1,000 pallet positions, 140 reefer plugs and 3,200 square metres of covered cargo handling and storage space. Its infrastructure also includes six inbound and six outbound gates, container-handling equipment and terminal tractors.

The logistics platform combines empty-container storage, inspection, maintenance and repair with cargo services such as container stuffing and de-stuffing, cargo inspection, full-container storage and refrigerated container power supply.
