The Chilean government estimated that the demand for handling containers in its five ports on the Pacific coast will exceed the current maximum port handling capacity around 2025, so to ensure the continuing growth of the national foreign trade, the country's port offer must be upgraded significantly. The $3.5 billion Outer Port project - after long discussions to be set at the main port in San Antonio, in the central Valparaiso region - is slated to act as a remedy to the country's throughput woes. The current plan envisages building two major automatic container terminals with a berthing length of 1.7 km each, which will allow simultaneous berthing of four Class E containers. |
