Delver Agents – a premier ship agency and supplier serving South America’s Southern Cone and Antarctica – recently enacted a “Driving the Future our Generations Deserve” initiative as part of its ongoing mission to generate a positive impact on our community.
Read below to learn more about how our corner of the world is already benefitting from this new multifaceted, community-focused initiative!
Introduction: A Stronger Collaboration
In a day filled with excitement, learning, and vision for the future, Delver Agents led a transformative experience at the Luis Piedra Buena Pier, aiming to introduce young children to the maritime, tourism, and port industries that define Puerto Madryn.
This initiative, promoted by Delver Agents’ General Manager Germán Manterola, was made possible thanks to the support of international cruise operators working in the region, reaffirming the value of strong collaboration between the private sector and the local community.
First Visit: Le Boreal and the World of Polar Exploration
The first visit took place on March 27, 2025, and welcomed students and teachers from Early Childhood School No. 457 in Puerto Madryn aboard the Le Boreal, a French expedition ship operated by Compagnie du Ponant, renowned for its cutting-edge technology and design for operations in extreme regions.
During the visit, the children explored the Luis Piedra Buena Pier, the main hub for cruise ship arrivals in the city, where they got a firsthand look at how the port operates and how Puerto Madryn connects with the world through cruise tourism.
Second Visit: A New Experience on the Fridtjof Nansen
On April 1st, a second visit was held for students from the afternoon shift of the same school, this time featuring a tour aboard the Fridtjof Nansen, operated by the Hurtigruten company. This state-of-the-art vessel is also designed for polar expeditions and known for its strong focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship.
This second experience reinforces Delver Agents’ commitment to education, local engagement, and building meaningful connections between tourism and the community.
Education, Community, and the Sea: Delver Agents’ Social Commitment
Delver Agents continues to strengthen its social responsibility efforts in Puerto Madryn by offering real, inspiring educational experiences that spark curiosity and introduce new generations to the world of logistics, tourism, and the maritime industry.
“Introducing children to these spaces is planting the seeds of the future. It’s showing them that their city is globally connected and that there is a place for them within that world,” said General Manager Germán Manterola.
Gratitude to the Cruise Lines: A Partnership That Inspires
Delver Agents would like to extend sincere thanks to both Compagnie du Ponant and Hurtigruten for their openness and willingness to join this educational effort.
Having the support of these companies—not only operationally, but also in spirit and purpose—makes us incredibly proud. Their involvement speaks to their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to building lasting relationships with local communities.
Tourism That Educates
Puerto Madryn is experiencing a record-breaking cruise season. But at Delver Agents, we believe the most meaningful impact is measured through initiatives like this—when tourism becomes a tool for education, inspiration, and social integration.
We remain committed to ensuring that every ship arrival not only connects ports but also creates bonds with the people and communities that make this destination so special.
