TecPlata offers enhanced connectivity to Asia with ONE’s SX2, RPX services

TecPlata, a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) and Argentina’s most advanced port terminal, is enhancing connectivity to Asian markets through Ocean Network Express’ (ONE) two new services.

ICTSI’s Buenos Aires terminal has been integrated into ONE’s new East Coast South America Express 2 (SX2) service, which links key ports in the Far East with major hubs on the East Coast of South America. TecPlata connects to the SX2 network via the River Plate Express (RPX), a dedicated feeder service linking Argentina and Uruguay through Rio Grande. ONE is set to launch the RPX service in May 2025.

With a direct stopover in Pusan, the SX2 service facilitates seamless trade flow to and from South Korea, northern China, and Japan. The RPX’s exclusive route through Río Grande, Zárate, and TecPlata enhances distribution and ensures faster transit times. With fewer port calls, the optimized itinerary improves schedule reliability. 

“With our inclusion in this new service that expands access to Asian markets, TecPlata reaffirms its leadership in Argentina’s port sector by combining cutting-edge technology, operational efficiency, and sustainability,” said Juan Pablo Trujillo, TecPlata chief executive officer.

TecPlata remains committed to operational excellence and developing new services that support customers’ success in an evolving global market. As Argentina’s first carbon-neutral and BASC-certified port—and the first terminal certified to handle berthing maneuvers for vessels up to 366 meters long—TecPlata continues to drive safe, innovative, and globally aligned logistics solutions.
