I want to ask a question about the theoretical boat.

Conditions:

  • Boat is coming from neutral waters
  • Boat does not want to land on Argentina or Uruguay territory purposly
  • Boat wants to cross Uruguay river
  • Boat wants to get to Brazil

The question is: which border controls boat does have to pass and in which order?

(Mostly I am interested what Uruguaian and Argentinian border controls are doing in this situation)

The Uruguay River is not navigable from the Atlantic Ocean to Brazil. Even before the construction of the Salto Grande Dam, there were rapids.

Encyclopædia Britannica states of the Uruguay River

Its 990-mile (1,593-km) course is interrupted by rapids between Salto (Uruguay) and the influx of the Quaraí River (Spanish: Río Guareim) near Monte Caseros; hence, its importance as a waterway is less than that of the Paraguay–Paraná river system.

That's the stretch between the Salto Grande Dam and Brazil - Monte Caseros is near the border.
