La Plata Remolques S.A.

About Us

Our history dates back to 1882, when the Overseas Captain DOMINGO TORI ─great-grandfather of the president of the firm─ arrived in Argentina commanding a 22-metre length tugboat called “SALADO”, coming from Genoa, Italy.
He began by towing barges from the Uruguayan coast to the mouth of “PUERTO DE ENSENADA” (Ensenada Port), carrying sand and stone for the construction of the future “PUERTO LA PLATA” (La Plata Port). When the construction was finished and the Port was fitted out, he was enabled to work as a pilot, being in charge of piloting the first vessel which entered “Puerto La Plata”.
