en.Wedoany.com Reported - Iquique International Terminal (ITI), under the management of the Port Company of Iquique (EPI) and the National Customs Service (Servicio Nacional de Aduanas), has opened a temporary customs supervision zone within the former facilities of Marco Chilena shipyard for the storage and dispatch of containers to and from Bolivia.

The temporary zone can accommodate over 500 containers and is equipped with terminal personnel, operational equipment, and basic services. Cristopher López, ITI's Operations Manager, stated that this measure, now operational, will help mitigate the impact of social unrest in Bolivia on the logistics chain. ITI is collaborating with EPI, Customs, and domestic and international transport organizations to find solutions to maintain operational continuity.

Amid restricted international routes and increased operational demand, the opening of this space will accelerate the processes of cargo reception and dispatch. López added that with the gradual reopening of routes in Bolivia, an increase in truck traffic arriving at the terminal is expected. To this end, ITI has developed a special plan to ensure efficient and timely service for transporters, meeting higher demand.
