Terminal Puerto Arica (TPA) reinforced its operations and adjusted internal processes due to the logistics contingency that affected Bolivia for over 50 days. This allowed for an average of 1,282 weekly dispatches in the last three weeks, 40% above the usual under normal conditions.
"The logistics contingency that affected Bolivia for over 50 days strongly increased demand on Terminal Puerto Arica, which had to absorb high occupancy without stopping the reception of Bolivian import cargo or services to shipping companies," communicated the concessionaire of the Port of Arica.
"Despite this, the terminal reinforced its operations and adjusted internal processes. The result: in the last three weeks, it averaged 1,282 weekly dispatches, 40% above the usual under normal conditions," it added.
In this regard, TPA emphasized that "the operational reinforcement has resulted in greater predictability for cargo withdrawals, despite the pressure generated by the contingency on the terminal. Terminal Puerto Arica maintains direct coordination channels with shipping companies and users to adjust operations as the scenario in Bolivia evolves."
For his part, the General Manager of TPA, Camilo Jobet, stated that the company will continue to reinforce its capacity and advance in normalization, but warned that the complete recovery of the logistics chain does not depend solely on the port. "It requires the commitment and coordination of the different actors involved in Bolivia. This is a challenge that we can only overcome through joint work," he stressed.
The concessionaire stated that "the scenario continues to be challenging and the normalization process is still underway; these results reflect the terminal's commitment to continue strengthening its dispatch capacity and contribute to the progressive recovery of the logistics chain."
A week earlier, TPA confirmed maintaining an "extraordinary accumulation" of cargo associated with Bolivia in its storage areas.
