Reviews & Ratings for the Yasa-Tokyo

On May 23, 2025, the bulk carrier 'Yasa Tokyo,' laden with 33,000 tons of wheat destined for Angola, found itself immobilized in the San Pedro port, stranded before the local dock and unable to access the Main Waterway. This distressing situation has not only halted port operations but has also laid bare significant structural deficiencies at the river terminal. Over the past weekend, efforts by the dredger 'Afonso de Albuquerque' succeeded in clearing upwards of 65,000 cubic meters of sediment from the access channel, yet the critical depth of 9.80 meters—necessary for the vessel to depart—remains unachieved. Reports indicate that an astonishing total of 300,000 cubic meters of sediment must be excavated to ensure a safe passage for the ship, which is three times more than the usual annual dredging amount. The accumulation of sediment has been attributed to the natural drag of the Arrecifes River compounded by recent flooding affecting the Baradero area, leading to significant upstream impacts. Meanwhile, other vessels that were slated to dock at San Pedro are currently in limbo, with no definitive timeline for the resumption of normal operations. This disruption has already begun to affect businesses, notably Grobocopatel Hermanos, a key player in the port's operations, which is facing delays with tangible commercial repercussions.
