Argentina's union of pilots (prácticos), who provide berthing services for every ship loading cargo at its ports, began a total work stoppage in protest at a government decree from the Deregulation Ministry that changed pilotage and bay-pilot services. Ships are beginning to be stranded both at terminals and in the river, and grain exporters fear a halt to shipments and foreign-currency inflows.
Argentina is a leading exporter of soymeal, soyoil and grain, so a prolonged port stoppage delays shipments and tightens nearby supply, which tends to support soybean meal and oil prices for buyers while the dispute lasts.
