alternatives for the management of bilge water, slops, and solid waste in 21 ports of Argentina for MARPOL
compliance. The project also included analyses and recommendations for contingency plans and oil spill risk
reduction and response. In addition, it included the analysis of navigation and environmental hazards created by
sunken ships. The existing aids to navigation and the implementation of VTS systems, the evaluation of the
environmental sensitivity of beaches and harbors adjacent to ports, the existing legal and institutional conflicts,
and the degree of pollution in ports. Finally, it included
 cargo analysis and ship traffic in all 21 ports (seaports and inland ports) and waterways,
 description of the fleet characteristics and navigation routes, and
 in situ analysis of port operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARAGUAY -PARANA
WATERWAY, ARGENTINA-BOLIVIA-BRAZIL-PARAGUAY-URUGUAY (1995-1997) — Personally directed
this study in which participated more than 100 professionals working in the five countries where the river Basin
lays (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay). The study included analyses of physical, biological
and social impacts due to dredging (250 passes), disposal of dredged material, fixed works, rock removal, and
blasting along the 3400 km Paraguay-Parana River system. The two-year study included environmental data
acquisition hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, satellite imagery processing, archaeological studies, etc. In
particular, it included :
 Visits, site analysis, and descriptions of 22 inland ports of Hidrovia.
 Analysis of intermodal traffic patterns and trends, with emphasis in the connectivity
between oceans.
 Forecasting of barge traffic within the Hidrovia
 Economic impacts related to port and navigation development
 Responsibility: Director
