Port Caldera is projecting to consolidate itself, in the long term, as a strategic multipurpose terminal for the Atacama Region, addressing the opportunities offered by the growth of mining, agro-industry, and trade with northwestern Argentina.
The future outlook is also supported by the actions being promoted in the port facility to strengthen competitiveness, attract new cargo, and consolidate year-round operations.
This vision was presented at an expanded meeting of Port Caldera with bay stevedores, where the terminal's development objectives were shared.
The invitation was extended to the maritime facility's union organizations, who learned about the development strategy promoted by the company and participated in a space for dialogue and exchange of opinions on the challenges and possibilities it faces.
For his part, Jorge Falcon, general manager of Port Caldera, emphasized that the development of the port terminal must be built on a foundation of trust and joint work.
"Port Caldera plays a strategic role in the development of Atacama. Our challenge is to continue strengthening a safe, reliable, and competitive operation, capable of responding to the needs of our clients and generating new opportunities for workers and the community. We are convinced that this objective will only be possible through dialogue, trust, and a shared vision for the future," Falcon stated.
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Caldera, Brunilda González, valued the meeting and highlighted the importance of strengthening collaborative work among all actors linked to port activity.
"Caldera faces a historic opportunity for growth, and the port will be a fundamental actor in taking advantage of it. For this, we need trust and maturity from all involved actors. It is possible to safeguard workers' rights and, at the same time, create the conditions to attract new investments and more opportunities for our commune. We want Port Caldera to develop, because its growth also means development for the commune and its inhabitants," González mentioned.
In turn, Carolina Castillo, president of Stevedores' Union No. 2 of Caldera, acknowledged the discussion forum and expressed willingness to continue strengthening dialogue.
"We hope to strengthen communication among all actors to regain trust and continue moving forward. The most important thing is to reactivate the port and create the conditions so that we can have work throughout the year. We view the presented growth opportunities with optimism and believe they can be very positive for the future of port workers," Castillo said.
