Operations at Terminal Pacífico Sur (TPS) in the Port of Valparaiso, Chile, have been significantly disrupted due to industrial action by Stevedores Union 1.

On Monday, 20 October, the union halted activities in protest against a training programme initiated by the terminal in coordination with its unions.

In addition, key access points to the port and its connecting roads have been blocked.

As a result, dispatches via the Logistics Support Extension Zone (ZEAL) have been suspended pending confirmation of safe passage.

The labour action is currently impacting cargo movement through the terminal. The duration of the strike remains unclear.
