No pressing need for megaport, say Chile agents

Carlos Manterola, vice president of Chile’s National Association of Shipping Agents (Asonave), says that while the organisation is not against the construction of a major new deep water port, “now is not the moment” to make the necessary level of investment. Instead, he would like to see the resources spent on providing a 3.9 kilometre breakwater for the Outer Harbour project at San Antonio.
