Chile's Port of San Antonio Reopens After Truck Drivers Secure 8% Rate Hike on November 9

According to Jin10, independent truck drivers at Chile's Port of San Antonio, the country's busiest container gateway, have ended their blockade of container yards on November 9 after reaching an agreement that raises transportation rates by 8%. The nine-day dispute was resolved following government-mediated negotiations between the drivers' union and yard operators.

The deal also grants independent transporters the right to negotiate directly with logistics operators and introduces a mechanism linking future rate adjustments to transportation costs and diesel prices. Chile's Deputy Economy Minister Karlfranz Koehler confirmed the blockade has been lifted and operations are resuming. Export association Frutas de Chile welcomed the agreement, though its chairman Iván Marambio noted that one yard operator has not yet joined the accord.
