Chilean Port update

In the north of Chile, the ports of Iquique, Antofagasta and Port Angamos are fully operational.

In Valparaiso the TPSV container terminal used by Hamburg Süd, has announced that it is 90% operational with respect to dry and reefer cargoes. Container berths 1, 2, 3 are operational, whilst the older berths 4, 5 and 7 are not operating due to various structural damage.

TPSV is maintaining an emergency berthing programme: temporarily suspending agreed berthing windows to ensure efficient port operation and allocating berths on a first come, first served basis. The terminal is still servicing Navy vessels that carry supplies to the areas affected by the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami in the south of Chile.
