The Arica Port Logistics Community (CLP Arica) formalized its Governance Agreement, consolidating a public-private coordination space around the Port of Arica, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, operational continuity, and good city-port coexistence.
“This is a voluntary agreement, which organizes coordination and facilitates the exchange of information when appropriate, without generating legal obligations or modifying the competencies of the participating institutions,” reported CLP Arica.
In line with what was reported, during 2025 CLP Arica will operate through an Executive Committee composed of EPA, Terminal Puerto Arica (TPA), Ultramar, D&C Group, Inacap, Medlog and Ultraport, with the presidency at Ultramar and the vice-presidency at EPA. Monthly sessions will be held to monitor joint goals and commitments.
“We especially thank the support of Conecta Logística and the articulation between the different Port Logistics Communities of Chile, which make it possible to continue advancing towards a more integrated and collaborative logistics,” the entity emphasized.
Prior to the establishment of the CLP Arica Governance Agreement, PortalPortuario spoke with Javier Rivera, concessions and logistics manager of the Empresa Portuaria Arica, who stated that one of the main challenges for the port logistics community was precisely to materialize what has now become a reality.
Likewise, Rivera commented that one of the areas they are working on is “raising issues of digital transformation, adding some type of technology or information software that allows improving information regarding the traceability of trucks and cargo. This is where academia is supporting us quite a lot.”
In this regard, the professional emphasized that “no university is a specialist in these matters, therefore, for academia to enter and participate in issues that are highly relevant today – which is digital transformation and this matter of traceability – is very important for us and that is why we firmly support them and that is why they participate in the different meetings that we have as a logistics community.”
“We are the main stakeholders interested in the port community functioning, because that is where all the pains and the identification of gaps that are common are generated, which must have a resolution or that can be resolved in a common manner,” Rivera emphasized.
