The Intergovernamental Committee for the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway (Spanish: Comité Intergubernamental de la Hidrovía Paraguay-Paraná; Portuguese: 'Comitê Intergovernamental da Hidrovia Paraguai-Paraná; German: 'Zwischenstaatliches Komitee für Wasserstraßen) was founded in 1989 with the task of coordinating and promoting the measures determined by the member states for the creation of this Porto de Cáceres[wp] - Puerto de Nueva Palmira[wp] transport artery.
The committee is an international organization[wp] based in Buenos Aires[wp].
Paraná-Paraguay waterway
The Paraná-Paraguay waterway[wp] (Spanish: Hidrovía Paraná-Paraguay; Portuguese: Hidrovia Paraguai-Paraná) is a 3440 kilometre long corridor for the transport of passengers and goods on the Río Paraná and Río Paraguay rivers and enables shipping from inland ports in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The Bolivian river ports of Puerto Jennefer[wp], Puerto Aguirre[wp] and Puerto Gravetal are connected to the waterway via the Tamengo Canal[wp]. The eleven kilometre long natural-artificial canal connects the Cáceres Lagoon[wp] near Puerto Suárez[wp] in Bolivia with the Paraguay River in Brazil opposite the city of Corumbá[wp].
Comparable organisation
A comparable organisation in Europe is the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine[wp] (CCNR) (German: Zentralkommission für die Rheinschifffahrt (ZKR); French: Commission Centrale pour la Navigation du Rhin (CCNR), Dutch: Centrale Commissie voor de Rijnvaart (CCR)). The Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine (CCNR) is an international organisation made up of five member states (Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland) whose main task is to draw up and lay down binding regulations for navigation on the Rhine[wp]. It was founded by the Congress of Vienna[wp] (1815) and is therefore the oldest international organisation of the modern era, whose original purpose was to ensure free navigation on the Rhine[wp]. With the Mannheim Act[wp] (officially: Revised Rhine Navigation Act of 17 October 1868), it was tasked with promoting navigation on the Rhine and ensuring a high level of safety for shipping and the environment, and was given the authority to issue standardised regulations for navigation on the Rhine.
The Central Commission deals with all technical, legal and economic fields of activity and framework conditions of inland navigation, taking into account social aspects and environmental protection.
