In April, CIS began its first phase of operations, consisting of a five-hectare facility providing maintenance, repair, and specialized refrigeration services for maritime containers.
By the end of 2023, CIS services intend to expand to 11 hectares and include additional container storage space, a secure customs area for full container storage and a bonded warehouse for cargo consolidation and deconsolidation.
"We are pleased to officially open Chile Inland Services. This investment represents an important milestone for us as we continue to develop smart logistics solutions for our customers. Our goal is to develop integrated logistics services in key locations, making it easier for Chilean companies to move their goods through the Port of San Antonio," said Curtis Dorion, CEO of DP World Chile.
Efrain Osorio, General Manager of CMA CGM for Chile, Peru, and Bolivia said "Our strategic participation with DP World in CIS seeks to differentiate us in the market, raise the level of service by taking what we do at sea and in ports to specialized logistics services on land, and offer our customers a preferential service throughout the country. Chile continues to grow in exports and cargoes are becoming more and more sophisticated".
