Sad to hear - used Pluna on my last trip coming from Uruguay to Chile. Have never had any issues with Buquebus ferries between Argentina and Uruguay.

Buquebus also bought up all the competeting ferry companies and is even rumored to have 'encouraged' protesters to block the bridge between Uruguay and Argentina for 5 years, stopping bus traffic.
It sucks to think that Buquebus would be allowed to control almost all transport between Uruguay and Argentina.
My dream is that LAN will step in and buy up Pluna.
