Uruguay Logistics Hub

The National Institute of Logistics (INALOG) was created by law in 2010 to optimize the country’s industry competitiveness in the regional and international area.

In 2012, INALOG opened a new office in Old Town Montevideo and launched the brand "Uruguay Logistics Hub" aiming to promote coordination between all actors involved in the logistics sector in order to maximize the competitiveness of this industry in the regional and international levels. INALOG is dedicated to logistics Uruguay provides for the goods in transit and seeks to position the country as a service provider.

Government authorities define INALOG as the result of institutional maturation and fluid exchange between public and private actors, both users and providers of logistics services and the answer to the need of coordination and study of the industry in order to promote it.

The Board is composed of 10 members: four representatives of the public sector, namely Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Economy, Ministry Foreign Affairs and National Port Administration, and six members from the private sectors, which are generators load (2 members), transport (1 representative), port and airport operations (1 member) and logistics (2 members).

Strategic Transportation, Logistics and Infrastructure Plan

The Uruguayan Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP), through its National Planning and Logistics (DNPL), has set itself the objective of developing a "Strategic Plan for Transport, Logistics and Infrastructure 2030" including other state institutions (local governments, the Office of Planning and Budget, the Ministry of Housing, Lands and Environment and Productive Cabinet) and social actors (political parties, chambers of commerce, organized labor and civil society).

To achieve the objectives the Plan will be implemented in three stages:

1. During the first stage, series of documents will be agreed upon exchange and consultation among MTOP, Productive Cabinet and a multi-disciplinary team. These documents will address qualitative and quantitative upgrading of relevant production chains, together with land and transport infrastructure. They will also establish a preliminary diagnosis of the situation and potential for export logistics, with a list of essential infrastructure projects in order to achieve the best future scenario. A Management Team, composing of MTOP representatives and specially hired crew, will carry out the project at this stage.

2. The second stage will focus on the discussion and exchange of technical inputs ​​with other national government agencies, government departments, political parties and social partners (employers and employees).

Six workshops have been defined for discussion and exchange of views:

1) Connectivity challenges for domestic production. How to effectively anticipate the future production scenarios?

 Issues of state of the road network, the trucks, the damage done to the infrastructure, the need of budget, the role of railway transport, the Uruguay River navigation, waterways, airports, shipping.

2) Uruguay as Regional Distribution Center. Value-added of the services offered.

Workers should be offered training on social responsibility, controls and sanctions system, mechanisms for licensing, technical characteristics of the vehicle fleet and the commitment to advance road safety.

5) Accessibility to small towns and rural areas. Social impacts from the development of the national infrastructure.

What are the cheapest ways to achieve accessibility? (e.g. "Route 4" and collective transport services of passengers).

6) National development agenda, infrastructure and environmental resilience. Sustainable transport.
