SAN ANTONIO, Chile, Oct 17 2025 (IPS)

Maritime transport is key for Chile, which has 34 free trade agreements with countries and blocs of nations, one of the broadest trade networks in the world with access to over 86% of the global gross domestic product (GDP).

In 2024, this South American country surpassed US$100 billion in exports for the first time, mostly of copper, forest products, fresh fruits, fish, and organic foods. In turn, it imported US$78.025 billion, mostly diesel oil, clothing, accessories, and footwear.

Faced with growing trade, experts predict enormous port demand by 2036 in this long and narrow South American country squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean.



To avoid a collapse in 10 years, the San Antonio Outer Port project will triple the capacity of Chile’s main route for the exit and entry of products.

San Antonio currently handles 29% of the tonnage of maritime foreign trade, 34% of exports, and 71% of Chile’s imports by value.

The high agricultural and mining production from Chile’s central area, which contributes 59% of the country’s GDP and is home to 63% of its 19.7 million inhabitants, passes through this port.

The outer port will allow for the movement of six million containers thanks to two new port terminals, 1,730 meters long and 450 meters wide, with eight new berthing fronts for state-of-the-art container ships.

The total estimated investment for the project is US$4.45 billion, which will be financed by the government and by international companies applying for concessions.

The first months of 2026 will be key for awarding the dredging works, the construction of the breakwater, the protective infrastructure for the new port, and for learning the authorities’ decision on the environmental impact of the San Antonio Outer Port works.

Measures will be taken to mitigate that impact, including the protection of two wetlands located on port land and support for the work of fishermen in nearby coves. To decarbonize, the port project will also use energy produced from renewable sources.

San Antonio, 110 kilometers west of Santiago and south of the historic port of Valparaiso, which it has surpassed in relevance, is aiming for a revival by promoting the largest port infrastructure project in Chile’s history.

It currently provides 10,200 direct jobs to port workers with an average monthly income of US$1,110.

San Antonio aims to consolidate its ninth place among the largest ports in Latin America and expand its role in the movement of cargo to and from Asia and the Americas.

Its managers also seek to show that infrastructure development can be harmonized with the protection and improvement of environmental conditions through a project that is a model of sustainability.

Les start-ups européennes tirent la sonnette d’alarme sur le « 28e régime », projet de création d’une entité juridique à l’échelle de l’UE. Elles dénoncent le choix d’une directive plutôt qu’un règlement, qui risque, selon elles, de multiplier les règles nationales divergentes et de compliquer le développement des jeunes entreprises.

Colonel Michael Randrianirina is sworn in as the new president of Madagascar at a ceremony in the capital.

A nyolcvanas évekre a Delta Airlines öt évtizedes működést tudhatott maga mögött és a mezőgazdasági repülőgépektől eljutott a szélestörzsű óriásokig. Olyan repülőgépek üzemeltetése kezdődött ebben az évtizedben, amelyek közül néhány ma is forgalomban áll. A nyolcvanas évek azonban nem indultak könnyen. A gazdasági helyzet, az üzemanyag ára és az 1978-as deregulációs törvény miatt kialakult verseny nehéz helyzetbe hozta a légitársaságot, amely további beszerzésekkel igyekezett előrelépni. Ezek középpontjában a Boeing volt.

A Delta Airlines nem volt egyedül a problémáival, számos más iparági szereplő küzdött hasonló gondokkal, és ahogy az lenni szokott, létszám csökkentéssel igyekezett túlélni. A Deltánál másképp gondolkodtak, a dolgozók közel tíz százalékos fizetésemelést kaptak, továbbá olyan repülőgépek beszerzését célozták meg, amellyel leválthatták az öregedő és kevésbé gazdaságos típusokat.
