"At Berth N°1 of our terminal, work was carried out to load the holds of the MDS Artemis, which is now sailing towards the northern hemisphere, after a stop in Peru," reported the concessionaire of Puertos de Talcahuano.
"We appreciate the trust placed in Talcahuano Port Terminal and in the capacity of our team of collaborators to manage this type of cargo, which has opened a new export market for the country," they added.
