Within the framework of 16 years since its creation, the Logistics Community of San Antonio (Colsa) highlighted the implementation of the Port Community System (PCS) in the Port of San Antonio as one of the most relevant current projects, as it would allow the real-time exchange of information among the different actors of the port system.
"One of the most relevant projects currently is the implementation of the PCS, a technology platform promoted by the San Antonio Port Company (EPSA) and co-designed with the members of the logistics community. The system will allow centralizing and exchanging operational information in real-time among the different actors in the chain, strengthening the efficiency and traceability of port processes," Colsa communicated.
It is worth remembering that the Spanish multinational Indra Group assured that the implementation phase of the PCS would be finalized by the end of the first half of the current year. The company has been in charge of the PCS application in the Port of Valparaíso for 15 years.
Colsa also highlighted the progress in launching the Barrancas Intermodal Terminal (TIB), a project with 75% completion. This railway infrastructure, developed by EFE Trenes de Chile, "will increase the cargo transport capacity by train up to 250,000 TEU annually, contributing to a more efficient and sustainable operation for the port and its area of influence," the entity indicated.
In this context, Fernando Gajardo, general manager of EPSA and chairman of Colsa's board of directors, affirmed that "these 16 years have allowed for significant advances in logistics infrastructure, innovation, and security. The challenge is to continue growing and transferring larger volumes of cargo efficiently, maintaining coordination among all actors in the port system."
Colsa, created in 2010 as a dialogue table to address operational problems in the local logistics chain, also reported that it has begun a new stage of coordination, where "the implementation of new technologies, the strengthening of infrastructure and intermodality, sustainability, security, and capacity development will be part of an agenda aimed at a more integrated, efficient, and competitive logistics for San Antonio and its area of influence."
"Looking back at this journey, we deeply value our evolution. What began in September 2010 as a dialogue table has consolidated into a mature and robust ecosystem that articulates more than 60 public, private, and guild organizations," said María Pilar Larraín Sanhueza, general manager of Colsa.
"Collaboration and joint work are fundamental to continue strengthening the competitiveness and development of San Antonio. Our challenge is to continue building a more integrated, efficient, and prepared community for future challenges," highlighted Andrés Albertini, general manager of San Antonio Terminal Internacional (STI) and vice chairman of Colsa's board of directors.
