Vessel Description

ISABELLE I is a small inland river cargo vessel built in 1978, operating under the Paraguayan flag on the South American inland waterway network. The vessel is characteristic of the workhorse river cargo fleet navigating the Hidrovia Paraguay-Paraná waterway system, a critical commercial corridor connecting landlocked Paraguay to Atlantic ports. Given her dimensions and draft, she is well suited for shallow-draft inland river operations typical of the Paraná and Paraguay river systems.
