en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's Port of Valparaíso (Puerto Valparaíso) and AGUNSA's Terminal Portuario Valparaíso (TPV) have signed a modification agreement to the concession contract, extending the operation of Terminal 2 until December 2029 to ensure operational continuity during a critical development phase for the port.

This agreement has been approved by Chile's Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition (Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia, TDLC) under Report No. 40. The agreement stipulates maintaining operations at berths 6, 7, and 8 under current conditions, providing operational certainty for the logistics port system, workers, and all port users. The report concluded that the contract extension complies with current regulations and poses no competitive risks, thereby validating the process promoted by the Port Authority of Valparaíso (EPV).

Previously, the Port of Valparaíso consulted the TDLC regarding the conditions for extending Terminal 2, whose original concession was set to expire in March 2027. In its ruling, the court determined that the extension was an appropriate solution to ensure the terminal's continued operation during the long-term bidding process.

Gonzalo Le Dantec, President of the Board of the Port of Valparaíso, emphasized that the agreement ensures operational continuity for Terminal 2 during a critical transition period for the port, providing stability for the port system and foreign trade while advancing the next concession phase for port expansion and related works. He also stated that maintaining current operating conditions brings certainty in the current context, where it is necessary to continue strengthening the competitiveness of the Port of Valparaíso and its integration with the city.

Matías Laso, President of the Board of Terminal Portuario Valparaíso (TPV), stated that this concession extension represents a signal of trust and continuity, allowing the company to continue focusing on efficiency, safety, and long-term planning to advance Terminal 2 operations. He thanked EPV for its willingness and recognition of their work, adding that they view this as an opportunity to continue contributing to the sustainable development of the Port of Valparaíso, strengthening relationships with clients, dockworkers, and all participants in the logistics chain.
