MERIDIAN GROUP

Based in Buenos Aires, Meridian Group manages extensive port agency functions across the main maritime gateways of Argentina. The organization facilitates the entry and exit of various vessel types, specifically focusing on tankers, dry bulk carriers, and specialized project cargo ships. Through a network of offices, the company covers the significant Up-River terminals, including San Lorenzo and Rosario, as well as coastal hubs like Necochea and Bahía Blanca. These locations allow for the continuous oversight of port operations, ensuring that all administrative and logistical requirements are met during a vessel's stay. The core activities of the firm include coordinating with port authorities, managing cargo documentation, and overseeing customs procedures. Beyond standard vessel attendance, the agency handles crew changes, bunkering logistics, and the delivery of ship stores and spare parts. This logistical support extends to offshore projects, where specialized knowledge of local regulations and technical requirements is applied to maritime operations. Standards are maintained through adherence to the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, ensuring a consistent approach to maritime documentation and port communication. As a member of the Centro de Navegación and BIMCO, the company remains integrated into the broader international shipping community. These memberships reflect an alignment with established industry protocols and legal frameworks within the Argentine sector. The team at the Meridian Group utilizes local expertise to navigate the complexities of river and ocean transport, providing technical assistance to shipowners and charterers. From managing terminal berthing schedules to finalizing port accounts, the agency maintains a factual approach to all aspects of ship husbandry and maritime logistics. The focus remains on delivering technical support at every stage of the port call, covering the entire Argentine coastline from the northern river ports to southern regions such as Puerto Madryn.
