Maersk Chile promotes dry cargo export to northern Europe

Through its newly opened CLX service, which directly connects exports of Chile with iconic ports such as London, Rotterdam, and Antwerp, Maersk has been exporting products such as nuts, fishmeal, wood, wine, and copper in recent weeks.

Ignacio Lara, sales manager of Maersk Chile, said: “The European Union has always been very important for Chile’s trade. We are very happy and committed to being able to bring such varied products from different parts of the country to this market.”

The new CLX service transports dry cargo weekly, contemplating landings in Panama and Colombia before arriving on the European continent, and although the route leaves San Antonio, several Chilean ports are involved in shipping products: fishmeal, wood, wine, and copper are shipped in Arica, San Vicente, San Antonio, and Iquique respectively. On travel times, direct service has an average of 24 days for Antwerp, 26 for Rotterdam, and 28 for London.

“This is a market that is growing and becoming increasingly significant. We hope this trend continues and that we can continue to see good spaces for products that go beyond copper, especially nuts and wine,” Lara said.
