Chile: That’s how functions our Prime Latin American service.
It is one of the major international markets, as its multiple connections and ports allow it to be a key axis for countries like Spain. Within this scenario we find Chile as a key market for spanish trade, as it is one of the most consolidated south american economies.
It must be borne in mind that maritime transport is one of the most demanded modes of distribution worldwide. According to the UNCTAD report on maritime transport for 2022, in the period 2023-2027, maritime trade will increase by 2.1 per cent annually. While the figure is not as strong as in previous years, there are many factors that are affecting this situation, such as inflation, tensions or war conflicts.
These issues inevitably undermine the work of the global supply chain as managing all the necessary steps in such a changing environment can be a major challenge.
Maritime transport in Spain and Chile
Maritime distribution has been one of the most widely used modes of transport for centuries, because cargo capacity and country coverage make it one of its most efficient and appropriate modes.
In Spain there are 46 ports managed by 28 port authorities. This information, from State Ports, indicates that this activity accounts for 20% of the GDP of the transport sector, representing 1.1% of GDP at the national level.
If we focus on Chile, we see that its port system consists of 56 ports of which 32 are for private use, according to the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications of the Government of Chile.
Its total volume of exports to Spain in 2021 was 629,904 tonnes, while the volume of imports was 636.025.
These data from the Maritime Statistical Bulletin of the Navy of Chile show the close distribution relationship that we find between Spain and Chile. The free trade agreement between the two countries enables them to maintain a strong and consolidated bond.
