Independent truckers ended a nine-day blockade of off-dock container depots at Chile’s Port of San Antonio after agreeing to an 8% increase in haulage rates and a process for future rate adjustments. The stoppage had delayed container transfers and prompted two cherry shipments bound for China to divert to Valparaíso; operations are now resuming.
Restored port and depot movements should ease delays for Chilean exporters, including fruit shippers, and reduce near-term disruption to export logistics. Higher haulage costs may raise freight expenses, but the direct commodity-price effect is limited.
