Beginning in 2023, two million metric tons of pulp will be transported by rail here every year. But before that can happen, the line needs to undergo an extensive renewal in accordance with the highest safety and environmental standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, the Uruguayan Minister of Transport and Public Works Jos\u00e9 Luis Falero, and the Mayor of Canelones Prof. Yamand\u00fa Orsi symbolically broke ground in Juanico, Department Canelones, Uruguay, on the construction of a new maintenance depot on the line. The ceremony was also attended by Niko Warbanoff and representatives of DBCC Transport. <em>&#8220;We are delighted to support this economically significant and sustainable project in Uruguay with the combined rail expertise of the DB E.C.O. Group,&#8221;<\/em> said Warbanoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The international consortium is responsible for modernizing the line, and once the modernization project is complete, it will handle rail operations and maintenance of customized freight cars and traction units.

It is expected to create 10,000 long-term jobs and increase gross domestic product by 2 percentage points. Modernization of the railroad line will begin a new era of rail freight transport in the country. In addition to pulp, other raw materials will also be transported by train in the future. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afe.com.uy\/\">AFE, Uruguay&#8217;s state-owned rail administration company<\/a>, began working with private companies to develop scenarios for shifting freight traffic from the Uruguay River and road to rail in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading headline-h4\">Stakeholder management and strict environmental requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The program to build the pulp mill and port terminals and modernize the rail line was developed by UPM in a dialogue with local stakeholders and communities. Uruguay has strict environmental legislation in place. The environmental impact of the program has been assessed by government authorities and will continue to be monitored once operations begin.
