Vessel Description
PARANA I is an Argentine-flagged passenger/Ro-Ro cargo vessel constructed in 1981 at the ASTARSA shipyard in Argentina. The vessel was designed to serve the Río de la Plata river system, providing combined passenger and vehicle/cargo transport services between Argentine and Uruguayan ports.
As a Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) passenger vessel, PARANA I is configured to accommodate both embarking passengers and wheeled cargo or vehicles via dedicated ramp access, making it well suited for short-to-medium distance river crossings along one of South America's most commercially significant waterways.
The vessel operates under Argentine flag authority and is subject to the regulatory oversight of the Prefectura Naval Argentina (PNA), the national maritime safety and law enforcement authority.
