CONCESSION CONTRACT

ARGENTINA

RIO PARANA 1995 - 2021

Dredging and maintenance of the Rio de la Plata from the Ocean (Km 205) through the

Canal E. Mitre up the km 584 of the Rio Paraná

2011 : Extension of 600km Inland Navigation from Santa Fe to Corrientes

Ministerio de Economia y Obras y Servicios Publicos

Supervision : Direccion Nacional de Vias Navegables

Equipment : various mid size hopper dredgers (3 to 5) work on 365/7/24.

Additionaly a Cutter Suction Dredge is used for the periodic maintenance of large

sedimentation traps in the Mitre Channel

4 Bouy tenders and more than 8 survey vessels

More than 1000 bouys and other signals are installed in the seagoing section

TOLL system implemented on the seagoing section (Santa Fe to the Ocean)

17

50 % JDN Group = Dredging

50 % Emepa (Local Partner) =

Buoys and Beacons

18

More then 70% of all Agro products

exported in Argentina are moved by

ship trough the Hidrovia concession

100% of Buenos Aires container traffic

uses the system

19

TOLL SYSTEM

Toll is in function of TRN of vessel, section

of river used, and draught offered:

T.P. = Dredging toll + Beaconing toll

1. T.b. = U$ tariff x TRN x % of channel

used (see table for beaconing)

2. T.d.= U$ tariff x TRN x % of channel

used (see table for dredging) x

Correction Factor for Draught.

(indicative: grain vessels pay +/- 1 USD/ton)

20

RESULTS OF CONCESSION

Guaranteed depth = safety = lower costs, better and more modern vessels

Fixture of transport prices is very stable, being independent of river waterlevels in rain

seasons

Better prices for producers because spending less in transport and at better price

levels

Impressive private investment in infrastructure (multi billion)

Crushing factories (largest capacity of the world)

Grain Loading terminals

Investment in riverbarges and adapted terminals

Expansion of economical feasible area for agriculture production

Capture of more goods transported from upriver (up to Brasil)

BUT:

Need for a strong and stable legal regulation !

Toll system is not always feasible if in competition with other subsidized systems

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS

JAN DE NUL has been involved in the

construction of the most important

locks in Belgium

Thanks to these experiences JAN DE

NUL was a suitable partner for the

construction of the 3rd set of locks in

Panama

Evergem – Seine Scheldt

Antwerp – Berendrecht lock (world largest !)

Panama Canal Expansion

Program

1.Dredging works for Atlantic

and Pacific entrance

(deepening and widening)

2. Deepening and widening of

existing canal (Culebra cut and

by-pass Pedro Miguel).

3.Construction of 3rd set of

locks (Atlantic and Pacific).

4.Deepening and widening of

canal on Gatun Lake.

24

History

1st and 2nd set of locks 3 locks at each end of teh Panamacanal

Pacific : Miraflores locks (2 steps) and Pedro Miguel

locks (1 step).

Atlantic : Gatun locks (3 steps).

25

WHY A 3rd SET OF LOCKS?

Other alternatives for capacity increase came to their limits Larger vessels can not enter in the existing locks

Optimization of the toll system have reached their limit
