Description
El propósito de la navegación fluvial, consiste en prestar servicios de transporte en embarcaciones adecuadas en cuanto a tipo y tamaño, la eficiencia de estos servicios depende de los medios de producción que se utilicen, del uso que de ellos se haga, de las infraestructuras de las vías de navegación y sus puertos interiores. Las potencialidades que ofrece Colombia en cuanto a riquezas hídricas, la ubicación de la cuenca del Río Grande de La Magdalena, su óptimo aprovechamiento como modo de transporte fluvial, podría darse al ejecutarse el proyecto hidroviario que contempla el plan de desarrollo del gobierno actual, permitiendo el desplazamiento de un mayor volumen de carga y pasajeros, economías en combustible, alivio al modo carretero, descontaminación, entre otros, posicionando al país en un significativo ascenso en el ranking competitivo latinoamericano, en el presente informe se describen las características de una hidrovía y los parámetros que debe tener el Río Grande de la Magdalena para ser una hidrovía.Palabras clave: competitividad, hidrovía, optimización.
The purpose of river navigation is to provide transport services in suitable vessels according to their type and size. The efficiency of these services depends on the means of production, its use, and the infrastructure of waterways and inland ports. Colombia offers an interesting water potential considering the location of the watershed of the Rio Grande de La Magdalena and the use of this river for transport. This potential could come to reality with the waterway project incuded in the development plan of the current government. This project would allow moving a greater volume of freight and passengers with fuel economies, relief of road traffic, and decontamination, among others. The project would help colombian competitiveness to rank better in the Latin American context. This paper describes the characteristics of such waterway and the required parameters of the Río Grande de la Magdalena to meet this objective.
