The National Logistics Institute was created by Law No. 18,697 at the end of 2010, the result of a unanimous affirmative vote by all political parties. The need to «define a State Policy for the development of the logistics sector» and «make a qualitative leap through the formation of an institute that addresses the issue with a long-term vision» were some of the reasons presented in the parliamentary vote.

After a discussion process initiated in 2009 on the form that the body responsible for studying and coordinating efforts within the logistics sector would take, it was concluded that the best option was to create a space for public-private participation through a council representing the activity. INALOG was thus created as a non-state legal entity authorized to operate both nationally and internationally.

On the occasion of the Institute’s creation, the promotion of logistics activities in a broad sense, including internal logistics and logistics associated with foreign trade, was declared to be of national interest.
