Vessel Description

PUNTA QUILLA is an Argentine-flagged general cargo vessel built at the historic Astillero Río Santiago shipyard in the Buenos Aires Province. Constructed as part of a national shipbuilding initiative, she operates primarily along Argentine coastal routes, serving Patagonian ports including Puerto Santa Cruz, from which her name is derived — Punta Quilla being a geographic point near the Santa Cruz River estuary. She is operated by Maruba SCA, one of Argentina's principal maritime shipping companies, and is engaged in domestic cabotage trade carrying general and bulk cargo along the Atlantic coast of Argentina.
