The Chilean sea shuttle connecting the Argentine provinces of Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego through the Atlantic Ocean will continue to accept Argentine pesos but only from private individuals, the company TABSA had announced earlier this month that, effective June 16, it would only agree to payments in US dollars, Chilean pesos or credit card.
Argentina is considering establishing a direct connection between the Patagonian provinces of Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, thus avoiding the need to cross Chilean territory, as happens currently.
