Starting in October 2012, WWL will provide a monthly service to Antofagasta, Chile, in addition to its current service to the ports of Guayaquil (Ecuador) and Callao (Peru). Cargo transported on this route is primarily a mix of heavy equipment and breakbulk.

“Due to major infrastructure developments and construction expansion, as well as mining and energy projects, the demand for equipment to support improvements in western South America is undergoing significant growth. WWL is excited to offer a monthly service to Chile in order to meet these growing demands,” says Rich Heintzelman, EVP and Head of Commercial for Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics Americas.
