A national mobilisation involving some trucking organisations began in Chile on 10 November, with disruptions reported across several parts of the country.

The action relates primarily to concerns over diesel prices, operating costs and transport tariffs, although not all national trucking associations are participating.

Kuehne+Nagel reports that in northern Chile, traffic restrictions have been reported in Arica & Parinacota, Tarapacá and Coquimbo. Disruptions in Tarapacá have affected key routes around Pozo Almonte.

Truck access to the Port of Iquique and nearby container depots may also be affected.

Meanwhile, central areas have seen demonstrations and partial traffic restrictions in Paine, Linderos, Quilicura and San Bernardo.

Congestion has also been reported towards the country's coast, creating the potential for delays to trucking movements and links with logistics facilities and port terminals.

Further south, demonstrations have been reported in the Maule, Biobío and Araucanía regions, particularly near Panguilmo, Los Ángeles, Mulchén and Victoria, with possible delays for long-haul and interregional transport.

The disruption could delay container collections and deliveries, increase transit times between inland depots and port terminals, and restrict access to some logistics facilities, especially in northern Chile. Dispatch and delivery schedules may also require adjustments.

No general closure of Chilean ports has been reported at this stage. However, continued disruption to inland transport may affect cargo movements and service reliability in some areas.
