Brittania P&I Club informed that the water level of the River Parana in Argentina is low. Namely, the level averages around 8.3m. This situation is not expected to improve over the new few weeks.
More specifically, as the Club said, the water level of the River Parana in Argentina is low. Because of a lack of rain in the area, the draft at San Nicolas Port is lower than usual, averaging around 8.3m. In fact, on 16 July it was noted being as low as 8.16m.

It is not expected that this level will improve over the next few weeks. Operators should also be aware that these levels can change with the usual River Parana water level variations.
Finally, operators with drafts of around 8m or more should check the situation with local agents before arriving.
