Valparaíso to study La Ligua deepwater port

According to managing director Gonzalo Davagnino, this forms part of future planning for a 30-50-year horizon. The new port would unite the regions of Coquimbo and Valparaíso.

He conceded that Chile lacks sheltered harbours capable of handling large amounts of traffic, with Terminal 2 at Valparaíso and the future Terminal 3 at Yolanda being the last two of this type to be given the go ahead.

However, EPV must get the approval of the local mayor, said Davagnino.
