A.P. Moller – Maersk has officially opened a new logistics facility in Montevideo, Uruguay, strengthening its integrated logistics network and expanding its ability to manage international cargo movements. The facility brings container handling, cargo operations and logistics services together at a single location.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Uruguay President Yamandú Orsi, Secretary of the Presidency Alejandro Sánchez and Transport and Public Works Minister Lucía Etcheverry. Maersk was represented by Antonio Dominguez, President for Latin America and the Caribbean, and Ricardo Rocha, President for the East Coast of South America, along with customers, business partners and company executives.

Located along the Route 1 access corridor, at the intersection of Camino Cibils and Camino Burghi, the new facility offers improved connectivity to the Port of Montevideo and surrounding regional markets. The project involves a fully private investment exceeding US$20 million.

The integrated facility is designed to streamline cargo movement between inland logistics operations and the port, while supporting international trade through Uruguay. By bringing container handling, equipment services and cargo solutions under one roof, Maersk aims to minimise operational handovers, improve supply chain visibility and provide customers with greater flexibility through integrated logistics solutions.

Maersk said the investment reinforces Uruguay’s position as a link between regional supply chains and global markets while strengthening the company’s logistics infrastructure and service capabilities across Latin America.
