Mercosur Shuttle Group (MSG) is a group of three companies operating a container shipping business in the southern cone region of South America. The companies’ businesses operate primarily on the Hidrovia Waterway system, made up of the River Plate and the Paraná and Paraguay Rivers. Two of the companies, CMSP and CMSA, operate a container feeder service with tugs and barges in the Mercosur Region. A third company out of Uraguay, CMSU, provides agency services for CMSP and CMSA.
