Project scope and objective
Bowfluvial S.A. de Navegación is a Paraguayan company that is part of the González Saldivar group. The group provides river freight, ship-building, and shipping services along the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway.
The purpose of the proposed project is to finance upgrades and repairs for fifteen barges owned by Bowfluvial. This will increase net cargo transport capacity from 1,500 tons to 2,500 tons while increasing the useful life of the vessels. IIC’s participation in the project will enable an increase in the static transport capacity on the waterway, thus providing logistical support for agriculture, agribusiness, mineral, and fuel exports from the Rio de la Plata Basin region using a very environmentally-friendly means of transportation
