Montecon, the main operator of the public areas of the Port of Montevideo, won the Maritime Award of the Americas 2016 in the category of Security Management and Port Security, granted by the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP), an agency of the Organization of American States (OAS).
The distinction aims to highlight practices that contribute to reducing hazards and risks, as well as detecting illicit substances, among other actions aimed at ensuring security in ports. The evaluation criterion takes into account the leadership and innovation of the practices, their sustainability, the increase of competitiveness and their efficiency.
HMM America Shipping Agency Inc. chose Montecon as port operator together with the agency Brings Uruguay, prioritising the level of service offered and the quality of attention to the shipowner that for more than two decades has been offered to its clients.
We have been recognised as a Great Place to Work® Certified™ Company, which represents shared pride and joy, because the vast majority of our staff have stated that Montecon is a great place to work.
Montecon launches new benefits for the export sector through measures targeting those cargoes that need cold supply and temperature control. These will start to be implemented from October 1st.
