DP World and CMA CGM form Chile Container Depot JV

DP World and CMA CGM have created a new company Chile Inland Services (CIS), a joint venture to operate a container depot and bonded storage facility 10 km from the Port of San Antonio.

In April, CIS began its first phase of operations, consisting of a five-acre facility providing maintenance, repair and specialized refrigeration services for seagoing containers.

By the end of 2023, CIS services will expand to 11 hectares and include additional container storage space, a bonded bonded area for full container storage and a bonded warehouse for cargo consolidation and deconsolidation.

“We are delighted to officially launch Chile Inland Services. This investment represents an important milestone for us as we continue to develop intelligent logistics solutions for our customers. Our goal is to develop integrated logistics services in key locations to make 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 investment in DP World in CIS aims to differentiate us in the market and improve service levels by enhancing our work at sea and in ports take over to specialized logistics services on land, offering our customers a priority service across the country. Chile continues to grow in exports and cargoes are becoming more demanding”.
