A sudden! Strike at 23 ports in this country! The port is paralyzed! Logistics will be delayed! Please note the shipment.

According to the latest news from foreign media, on October 26, about 6,500 members of Chile’s 23 ports began a 48-hour joint strike, the main port terminal operations paralyzed. Please pay attention to the impact of logistics delay for the shippers who recently shipped to Chile.

The workers are said to be protesting the lack of progress in contract negotiations with the Chilean government and are demanding an agreement with government authorities to provide them with better working conditions. The Labour minister said they would work with the Interior and transport departments to bring workers and port companies together for talks.

The ports of SAN Antonio, Antofagasta, Iquique and SAN Vicente are reported to be most affected by the work stoppage. Some of the affected companies conveyed to customers the paralysis of their operations and regretted the logistical impact of the strike on goods.

There had already been major traffic disruptions around Port SAN Antonio earlier on October 26, with demonstrators blocking traffic with burning objects. Transport, commerce and port operations could be disrupted across the country on Oct 26-27.

In this reminder, the owners and forwarders who plan to ship to Chile in the near future must pay close attention to the delay and impact of the strike on the transportation of goods, so as not to bring unnecessary losses!
