Grupo Kenport is a regional strategic platform specialized in the coordination and supply of Bunker Fuels, Urea, and Marine Lubricants for fluvial and ocean-going operations in South America. We operate within one of the world's most relevant logistics corridors, connecting the productive heart of Mercosur with global maritime trade. Our operational reach extends along the entire Atlantic coast of Uruguay and Argentina, down to Ushuaia, the southernmost port in the world.
​
Grupo Kenport, integrates operations across Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, supported by local companies acting as physical suppliers in each market. Our trajectory is defined by strategic expansion at key points of the fluvial and maritime system:
​​
-
Since 1966 in Argentina, consolidating a robust operational structure for domestic and international markets.
-
Since 2000 in Uruguay, acting as a strategic multi-port platform connecting the waterway with South Atlantic routes.
-
Since 1960 in Paraguay, with an operational base on the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway, providing direct support to one of the world's largest fluvial fleets by registered tonnage.
Throughout our history, we have been trusted partners for global leaders in the energy sector such as Shell, YPF, ANCAP, Trafigura, Montealegre, and Raízen. In 2025, our vision evolves toward a strategic partnership with Iconic, aiming to re-establish and drive the growth of the Texaco brand in the maritime markets of Argentina and Uruguay.
​Value Proposition and Strategic Mission
Our mission is to safely deliver the exact Bunker Fuels, Urea, and Marine Lubricants to the right customer at the right time. In a highly demanding environment, our primary function is to guarantee operational continuity for shipowners and operators.
​
We achieve this by combining efficient logistics coordination, strict regulatory compliance, and comprehensive technical support.
We provide specialized oversight that includes lubricant analysis and mechanical laboratory services, ensuring the integrity and peak performance of naval machinery.
​Vision 2025 - 2030:
We project ourselves as the definitive Marine Services Hub of the fluvial and maritime system, articulating an ecosystem that integrates physical suppliers, ports, operators, and clients under a long-term vision of reliable relationships. This structure ensures consistent execution while maintaining local expertise and regulatory compliance.
Operational Pillars (Our Values)
​To ensure our clients' logistics never stop, we operate under four fundamental commitments:
Multi-country Integration
We execute operations across Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay under homogeneous standards and ISO norms, eliminating the friction of operating in multiple jurisdictions.
Logistics Coordination
We articulate a service scheme comprising barge fleets, depots, and transport services to guarantee an effective delivery in over 20 ports and anchorage/lightering zones across the region.
Regulatory Compliance
We maintain rigorous documentary discipline and constant coordination with port, governmental, and company authorities to ensure the integrity of every supply operation.
​Operational Continuity
We understand that in the maritime sector, time is critical; therefore, our total focus is on preventing navigation interruptions for our clients.
​Regional Authority and Leadership
The Group is led by a management team with deep technical expertise in the sector, combining operational excellence and a customer-centric approach in the areas of Bunker Fuels, Marine Lubes, and naval technical support. This joint experience allows us to go far beyond the simple delivery of a product: we ensure, through group companies like Ferro Naval, that every vessel's machinery operates at peak efficiency. We provide comprehensive support in assuring processes and equipment performance, based on early fault detection through oil analysis and corrective maintenance carried out in our own specialized facilities.
