What the port isPuerto de Ushuaia is a multipurpose terminal for cargo and passengers. The port regulation says vessels at the pier include passenger, cargo, fishing, military and non-commercial vessels.

Who runs itThe Agencia Nacional de Puertos y Navegación has run the port under administrative intervention since 22 January 2026. A resolution of 1 September 2026 says the intervention lasts 12 months and can be extended.

Who answers for a vesselThe port regulation names five parties as responsible for following it: the vessel's shipping agent, the owner or attorney, the shipowner or captain, the port's general coordination office and its operations directorate. It also makes whoever asks for port entry jointly responsible for the vessel's papers.

Maritime authorityThe regulation names Prefectura Ushuaia (PNA) as the body whose rules apply when weather delays a vessel.

Entry rules

Travel authorisation for foreign crew

Immigration

AVE for crew

Argentina's migration service runs an electronic travel authorisation for crew. It covers foreigners who enter Argentina to join the crew of an Argentine or foreign vessel in Argentine waters and who leave the country on that vessel. Disposición 682/2025 of 5 May 2025 limits it to the nationalities listed in its annex. Check the rules for your passport.

Documents

Passport and seaman's book

The rule requires a valid passport and a valid seaman's book. The applicant sends a good-quality colour scan of both as PDF files. The migration service can ask for more papers.

Who applies

The shipping agency

The shipping agency must be registered with the migration service and files the request on its web portal. The agency pays the fee, USD 150 or the amount that replaces it, and the fee is not refunded if the request is denied. The rule rejects a request for entry more than 100 days after the request date.
