In addition to its regular volume of long-term customers and a new service to Asia by the shipping consortium consisting of Hapag Lloyd, MSC, ONE and HMM, SVTI increased its containerised cargo volume by more than 92 per cent over the last year.
In addition, the terminal implemented a complete investment plan for 2025, including nine 16-tonne capacity forklifts with special attachments for pulp operations; 23 new 80-tonne capacity Terberg terminal tractors; seven 43-tonne capacity reachstackers; and a Liebherr /600 mobile harbour crane with a reach of 61 metres.
SVTI’s general manager, Juan Pablo Santibáñez, highlighted the importance of this investment for the terminal’s growth: “These equipment upgrades reinforce our commitment to modernisation and operational reliability.
“They will allow us to meet our customers’ needs more efficiently, optimise processes and continue to consolidate our position as a key player in the port industry in south-central Chile.”
Some additional improvements will help increase the port’s capacity, such as South America’s most modern simulator to support crane operator training. With this, SVTI’s services deliver greater consistency.
The equipment is already operational, following a commissioning process and specialised training for operators.
The Deputy Manager of Maintenance and Civil Works, Cristian Díaz, commented: “We will also make improvements in maintenance and optimisation of all terminal equipment to guarantee safer, more efficient service.”
