Port control should be contacted on VHF Channel 16 for instructions on where to berth for clearance in the busy commercial harbour. After the compulsory quarantine inspection, the customs and immigration formalities are normally completed ashore. Sufficient time should be allowed for the long trip up the Plate River. A good place to stop on arrival is at the Yacht Club Argentino, reached via a buoyed channel. Formalities are completed at Prefectura Naval.
