Juan Olaizola

Juan Olaizola is a former Undersecretary of Transport in Uruguay, known for his insights into maritime and transportation issues. Recently, he was in the news criticizing the comments made by the president of the National Ports Administration (ANP), Pablo Genta, regarding the rising costs at the port of Montevideo and the impact on shipping lines. Olaizola emphasized that while costs affect container movement, they are not the primary cause of the recent decline in shipping scale, attributing the problem to regional issues and competition from the port of Buenos Aires.
