Puerto Antofagasta’s beginnings are closely linked to the rapid expansion of the city and its surrounding region. Its origins can be traced back to the early 20th century, when the booming saltpeter industry prompted efforts to develop a port facility to meet the demand for shipping not just saltpeter and other minerals, but also a variety of goods that accumulated at what is now the ‘Muelle Histórico’ (historic dock).
On September 8th, 1916, through Law No. 3,132, the Port Commission was authorized to finance the project, thus obtaining the necessary resources to carry out this important initiative.
Thanks to a series of subsequent investments and various changes in its infrastructure, the Port of Antofagasta (Puerto Antofagasta) is currently considered one of the main port facilities in northern Chile, serving the needs of the mining industry, as well as the transit and storage of goods to and from the neighboring countries of Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay.
Vision
To be the main port logistics platform for customers who require its services in northern Chile, operating with the highest socio-environmental standards, standing out for transparency and shared value.
Mission
To manage, operate, develop and conserve the Port and its terminals, facilitating port logistics to national and international trade in its hinterland, leading and articulating the actors that participate in its logistics chain, promoting sustainability, productivity, integration, innovation and creation of shared value, in a harmonious and transparent relationship with the community.

0.6 Services
The administration and operation of Berth No. 1, or “Multi-operated Terminal”, can be used by all agencies and companies that require it. It has warehouses and back-up areas for use by the entire port, in addition to Sites 1, 2 and 3.
The Terminal is managed by Antofagasta Port (Puerto Antofagasta) under the modality of multi-operated with ship and wharfage agencies, it has 3 berthing sites with a total length of 600 meters, with a maximum draft of 9.14 meters.
The terminal has 11 hectares of esplanades for the collection and operation of loads, with 3 warehouses with a total capacity of 18,000 m2 for storage
Other services include cargo handling, Franco-Paraguayan warehouse, warehouses for Bolivian cargo, use of the wharf, potable water and electric power supply services.
Use of the port
It consists of the right to use the port infrastructure corresponding to sheltered waters inside the pool. Billing is calculated using ‘Gross Record Tonnage,’ with different rates for commercial ships and non-commercial ships, such as passenger vessels.
Dock Usage
It consists of the assignment of sites for the docking of ships, in accordance with the current Service Regulations and the Resolutions of the Maritime Authority. The allocation of sites is carried out through a daily planning meeting, in which Port Authorities, representatives of Shipping Agencies and Dockage Agencies, and Bay Pilot participate.
The Dock Use service is subject to the charge of two fees:
A) Use of the vessel’s dock: The rate is based on the vessel’s time in port and its unit of charge is “Meter-HourSlide-Hour”.
B) Dock use for cargo: The rate is based on the tons transferred to and from the vessel, and its unit of charge is the “Ton”, differentiated if it is bulk or general cargo.
Both phases of Ship Care are the exclusive responsibility of the Shipping Agencies and Shipping Companies for the stowage and unstowage of the cargo, for which they use their own personnel and equipment. Antofagasta Port only carries out the supervision and liquidation of the services.
Storage
The cargo deposit service consists of the custody provided to the cargo that remains in the deposit places fixed by Antofagasta Port, from its reception until its delivery to its consignees or to those who represent them.
The unit of charge for this service is the “ton/day” and is differentiated for general cargo, bulk cargo and hazardous cargo in the covered and uncovered modality.
The Stockpile Service is a variant of the Storage service and is aimed at storing bulky cargo for extended periods.
The service consists of providing the client, as requested, with a covered or uncovered area for the storage of cargo, for a determined period of time, which will remain under the client’s responsibility. The unit of charge for this service is “square meter/day” and is differentiated by areas.
Type A: Covers
Type B: Direct to Transfer Type
C: Indirect to the Transfer
Drinking water and electricity supply
Water: At each berth, there are taps for the supply of drinking water to the vessels. This service includes the necessary installation for connection to the port’s internal water network and its unit of charge is “cubic meter”.
Electric Power: At each berth, there are connections to the electric power grid for the installation of the different equipment used in cargo transfer operations. The billing unit is “kilowatt hour”.

Clean Production Agreement for Mining Logistics in the Port of Antofagasta
The Clean Production Agreement (CPA) Mining Logistics Port of Antofagasta, seeks to incorporate measures, in addition to those mandated by the current regulation, associated with the prevention and control of potential emissions of Particulate Material (PM), in the handling, transport, storage, shipment, landing of bulk mineral concentrate that are transferred through the Port of Antofagasta and other actions related to the management of these and that could potentially impact the city of Antofagasta and its environment.
The CPA – signed in 2016 - is a joint effort with different local stakeholders. Through an investment of 11,000 billion CLP, it brings together government entities, companies in the region and trade associations around active cooperation to implement measures to prevent and control emissions of particulate matter.
The vision is aimed at innovation and modernity, incorporating the best available techniques in logistics, together with the construction of an environmental diagnosis on air quality through the generation of technical, specialized and objective information. In this way, the CPA becomes an instrument that not only allows the optimization of operational management, but also an essential factor to contribute to the well-being of the city’s inhabitants.
Among the initiatives are the acquisition of tipping containers for the transfer of mineral concentrates from Portezuelo to Puerto Antofagasta, the implementation of a truck washing system, the improvement of the green areas of the Central Alley in Antofagasta, the implementation of a cleaning system for internal roads and the reception of material.
In May 2019, Antofagasta Port obtained the Clean Production Agreement certification, after having fulfilled all of its commitments. The Clean Production Seal certification granted in 2019 was ratified in 2020 and 2021 through compliance assessment audits carried out by an independent third party, which were verified by the Sustainability and Climate Change Agency. In 2022, Antofagasta Port finalized the CPA.
Below are the certificates of the “Port of Antofagasta Mining Logistics Clean Production Agreement”, for the Port Site and the Portezuelo Site, respectively.
La Negra Industrial Zone Clean Production Agreement (CPA) seeks to contribute to the improvement of the productive and environmental management of the “La Negra” Industrial Zone, permanently introducing comprehensive environmental management that generates greater competitiveness and considers the feelings of the community.
The APL, signed by Antofagasta Port in 2015, is made up of 10 companies from the La Negra sector, which carried out voluntary and collaborative work that involved a public-private investment of more than $20 billion in environmental matters and improved standards.
In addition, a series of significant results were achieved, such as a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions, a 41% reduction in the amount of solid waste sent to landfills, a 70% increase in recycling, and a 66% reduction in particulate matter emissions, among others.
The La Negra Industrial Zone’s CPA had the participation and technical support of the Ministries of Energy, Economy, Environment, Health and Mining, the Regional Government, the Municipality of Antofagasta, the Superintendency of Sanitary Services, CONAF, Corfo’s Sustainability and Climate Change Agency (ASCC) and the Antofagasta Industrial Association (AIA).
In October 2023, Antofagasta Port received the certification of the La Negra Industrial Zone Clean Production Agreement (CPA), demonstrating its constant commitment to the sustainable
development and care of the environment of the area. This certification has a duration of three years, a period in which an independent third party will carry out annual monitoring and annual re-evaluations of compliance by the Antofagasta Port.
Below is the certificate of the “La Negra Industrial Zone Clean Production Agreement” of the Antofagasta Port.
Ecoports is an European accreditation that is granted to those companies in the sector that meet the highest environmental standards in their operation and relationship with the environment. It is the main environmental initiative of the European port sector developed in 1997 and offers tools for ports in terms of environmental management based on PERS EcoPorts guidelines, global standards and voluntary nature that makes demands beyond the regulatory. It is the non-profit foundation ECOSLC that granted this recognition, an organization that acts on behalf of EcoPorts for ports outside Europe. In October 2019, Antofagasta Port achieved EcoPorts certification. The Port of Antofagasta was established as the second port in Chile to have such certification, and the first state port to achieve it.
During 2022, Antofagasta Port achieved the recertification of the EcoPorts standard, demonstrating its commitment to high environmental standards and continuous improvement, valid until February 2024.
Below is the Antofagasta Port EcoPorts certificate.
HuellaChile
HuellaChile is an initiative that has its origin in the Ministry of the Environment, which seeks to promote the management of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in public and private organizations, for the mitigation of the country’s total GHG emissions.
This program gives recognitions to the participating organizations, which are divided into 4 levels, these are: quantification of GHGs, reduction of GHGs, neutralization of GHGs and declaration of excellence.
In November 2020 and for four consecutive years, Antofagasta Port has obtained the “Quantification” recognition, the first stage of the HuellaChile program, which indicates that the company has successfully met the necessary requirements for the measurement of greenhouse gases.
In February 2024, Antofagasta Port reached a new milestone in its environmental management by becoming the first state-owned port company nationwide to obtain the “Reduction” certification, the second step of the Ministry of the Environment’s HuellaChile program.
The recognition was granted for having reached the level of reduction of its greenhouse gases at the organizational level, in accordance with the requirements of the program and Chilean ISO 14064/2:2019.
The certification was obtained thanks to the development and execution of the project “Improvement of the lighting system in Multioperated Terminal”, with which 193 existing
high-pressure sodium lighting was replaced by LED technology luminaires, allowing a reduction of 23.9 tons of CO2 by 2022.
Below is the Antofagasta Port’s HuellaChile certificate, granted in February 2024.

Antofagasta Port identifies the following environmental indicators relevant to its main environmental aspects, its environmental policy and related to the port’s main environmental objectives, in order to facilitate the monitoring of its environmental performance.
a) Operational Performance Indicators (OPI):
• Recyclable Waste
• Paper and cardboard
• Plastic containers and bottles
• Electronic waste
• Hazardous Waste
• Energy Consumption
• Fuel
• Liquefied gas
• Electric power
• Carbon footprint
• Water Consumption
b) Management Performance Indicators (MPI)
• Resources available for environmental management
• Clean Production Agreement
c) Environmental Condition Indicators:
• Particulate Matter 2.5
• Particulate Matter 10
• Emissions from stationary sources
• Water Column
• Total Hydrocarbon Concentrations
• Fauna
• Green Areas
• Noise Levels
Recyclable Waste
Antofagasta Port recycles paper and cardboard used in administrative procedures, donating them to the Chilean foundation “María Ayuda”. In this way, control of the kilos of paper and cardboard delivered annually for recycling is maintained. It is important to highlight that the consumption of paper and cardboard has been progressively decreasing over time, due to the automation of processes, therefore, the total recycled also show a tendency to decrease over the years.
Regarding waste, in 2020, the recycling of plastic containers and bottles was incorporated into the Antofagasta Port as a good environmental practice, and recycling bins were installed in corporate offices and in the multi-operated terminal. As a result, from 2020 to 2023, a total of 452.1 kilograms of plastic containers and bottles were recycled.
Environmental management and port eco-efficiency
As of 2019, no electronic waste has been generated for recycling, because the equipment that completed their useful lives were given to the organization’s employees for reuse, applying the concept of circular economy.
The main hazardous waste comes from the Antofagasta Port administrative area and corresponds to fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, toner, etc. The storage, transportation and final disposal of this type of waste is carried out in accordance with the requirements established in Supreme Decree 148.
Although the nature and magnitude of Antofagasta Port’s operations are not a major generator of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the port belongs to one of the sectors most affected by the effects of climate change with the increase in storm surges. Therefore, the advance of climate change urges Antofagasta Port to seek concrete measures to reduce emissions by supporting the development of low-emission technologies and generating opportunities to collaborate with others in the sustainability of the planet. Fuel
During 2020, the quantification of the Antofagasta Port’s Carbon Footprint was carried out for the first time, through the HuellaChile Program of the Ministry of the Environment.
During 2022, work was carried out to improve and update the lighting inside and outside the port. This project consisted of replacing the existing fluorescent tubes with LED bulbs, which contributed to reducing electricity consumption and reducing the port’s carbon footprint.
The 2023 measurement is under development.

Campaign to prevent idling with transporters within the TMO
Idling is prohibited at the Multi-Operated Terminal of Puerto Antofagasta. Puerto Antofagasta carried out a campaign to reinforce this matter and promote a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in trucks waiting at our terminal. Projections indicate that through awareness raising it is possible to achieve a reduction in the bad practice of idling by 54% with a similar reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Although the Port’s operations are not intensive in water consumption, given that the company is located in a desert area and water is a scarce resource, its use is rigorously monitored. Therefore, advanced irrigation systems have been installed in green spaces, and water conservation initiatives are promoted via social media and internally within the company.
Over the last few years, we have developed a portfolio of projects that has allowed us to implement various control measures to ensure that environmental impacts are minimized.
During the year 2023, an investment of USD 327,754 in environmental projects was achieved.
In accordance with the guidelines and milestones defined in the CPA of Logistical Mining Port Antofagasta, signed in 2016, Antofagasta Port had the obligation to measure and control the progress of the goals and actions committed to in that agreement. Thus, it was necessary to conduct four audits: i) diagnosis, ii) compliance at month 8, iii) compliance at month 14, and iv) final.
The graph below shows the performance indicator of the CPA management, where it is possible to observe that Antofagasta Port started 2016 with 52% weighted progress in compliance with the CPA goals and actions subscribed in the agreement, and as of November 2017, Antofagasta Port had already complied with 100% of these. In May 2019 Antofagasta Port obtained the CPA certification, such certification was ratified in 2020 and 2021 through compliance evaluation audits, conducted by an independent third party, where it obtained 100% achievement in each of them. Antofagasta Port finalized the CPA in 2022.

Based on the results of the physical, chemical and microbiological analyses carried out in the 2023 campaign on samples from the marine water column and considering the information compiled from previous reports and the comparative analysis with the national regulations in force for marine and estuarine waters suitable for recreation with direct contact and the foreign standards considered by Antofagasta Port, it is possible to conclude that the values of the parameters analyzed in the individual stations are within the ranges obtained in previous campaigns and in accordance with the reference standards applied.
The concentrations of Suspended, Total and Dissolved Solids in the water column are currently at concentrations in accordance with the records obtained in previous campaigns, in addition, the concentrations of Hydrocarbons and Fats and Oils in the water column are generally below the detection limit <5 mg/l.
The values determined for metals are generally in low concentrations, only Copper shows concentrations above the limits CMC 0.0048 mg/l and CCC 0.0031 mg/l. The remaining parameters are in accordance with the limits suggested by Antofagasta Port in the foreign reference standard.
In addition, the values of fecal coliforms obtained in this campaign, compared to what is indicated in Decree No144/2009, which indicates a value of (1,000 NMP/100ml) for concentrations of fecal coliforms, these values are below the maximum limit established in the current regulations.
The results of the physical analyses of the 2023 campaign, which are shown in the graph below, and obtained in the subtidal sediment samples, conclude that the concentrations of Total Hydrocarbons fluctuated in the interior of the dock between <50 mg/kg (Not Detectable) at stations S-1, S-2 and S-4 and 418 mg/kg at station S-3.
While the stations outside the dock are all below the detection limit <50 mg/kg.
The 2023 campaign describes a community structure composed of 16 taxa or related taxonomic units. The percentage composition of the groups, in terms of the number of species that comprise them, shows mollusks and annelids as the best represented groups, in terms of their contribution to the total specific richness of the study area. This faunal composition is considered normal with respect to the number of species, based on the historical range recorded in the area. Regarding abundance by group, mollusks have the highest contributions in terms of registered specimens, totaling together 50% of the total average abundance of the sector. When it comes to the spatial distribution of the analyzed ecological parameters, stations PF- 5 and PF-6 indicate the greatest values for density and biomass per unit area.
Based on Hendey’s (1977) classification, the calculated diversity indices suggest that the study area experiences moderate pollution. The uniformity, on the other hand, evidenced an
equitable distribution of the average abundance per monitoring station across all the sampling points considered. Species richness varied from 4 to 13 taxa, achieving a total record of 16 species, in all measurement units, a value that is considered low depending on the historical range recorded in the study area.
Classification and ordination analyses show a low similarity between the seven monitoring stations, since they have a different community structure in terms of number of species, density and, above all, faunal composition. The modelling shows a segregation of 2 groups or clusters of greater affinity, evidencing a clear differentiation between the stations positioned within the sheltered pool of the port, associated with a smaller number of species, compared to the stations positioned outside of it.
The ABC curve analysis indicated a homogeneous
situation among the monitoring units, with 6 sampling stations classified under the criterion of undisturbed communities, presenting a strongly positive Warwick index. Station PF-7 has a Warwick index close to 0, indicating a transitional situation, being classified under the criterion of moderately disturbed communities.
According to Carrasco et al. (1996), the calculation of ABC curves provides atypical results in stations with fewer than 8 species, considering them to be semi-faunate stations.
Therefore, we consider that the results of these curves would not be completely reliable due to the low number of species they present. From this perspective, stations PF-2, PF-3, PF- 4, and PF-7 would be considered semi-defaunated. It is important to note that ABC curves are not used as an estimator of sample representativeness;
their use is considered highly relevant as a tool for comparison over time for the description of a particular environmental condition. In this sense, a defaunated condition or even a condition with no record of organisms also adds relevant information to the description of the system. In summary, even with the limitations and criticisms directed at the ABC curves (Beukema, 1988; Burd et al., 1990; Aderlini & Wear, 1992; Carrasco & Gallardo, 1994; among others), the implementation of this tool remains significant. Aderlini & Wear (1992) recommend that these evaluations should be conducted continuously over time to give a more precise evaluation of the induced contamination and/or natural physical and biological disturbances in the Port of Antofagasta.
Every year Antofagasta Port signs an agreement with the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF), dependent on the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture, with the main objective of contributing to the well-being of the community by receiving approximately 100 trees of different species to be planted in the green areas belonging to the company.
The following graph considers all the green areas that Antofagasta Port maintains in the sectors of the building, plaza, bicycle path and multioperated terminal, where it is possible to observe an increase in the number of species planted from 2016 to the present.
The Regulatory Plan considers Antofagasta Port as a “port area”, therefore, the following article of DS 38/2011 applies:
Article 5.- This standard does not apply to noise generated by:
a) Circulation through transport infrastructure networks, such as, for example, vehicular, rail and maritime traffic.
b) Air traffic.
c) The activity inherent to the use of dwellings and residential buildings, such as voices, circulation and gathering of people, pets, household appliances, repairs, domestic repairs and similar carried out in this type of dwellings.
d) The use of public space, such as vehicular and pedestrian traffic, events, acts, demonstrations, propaganda, free fairs, street commerce, or other similar activities.
e) Alarm and emergency systems.
f) Blasting and/or blasting.
From the above article it is clearer that Antofagasta Port is not required to perform noise measurements, however, during the year 2024 a station will be set up to measure environmental noise within the port.

• To assign internal auditors
• To review Audit Reports
Audit Team
• To plan the internal audit
• To execute the internal audit
• To issue the Audit Report
• To follow up on audit findings
Area managers or process owners
• To perform root cause analysis of nonconformities
• To define and implement corrective actions
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
Preparation of the Internal Audit Program
Internal Control drafts the “Internal Audit Program” for the current year, which should include: process or aspects to be audited, requirement number, related document, area of the document, date of the audit, owner of the process or aspect, audit team. When preparing the audit program, consider at least:
• Status and importance of the processes and areas to be audited
• Significant company changes
• Results of previous audits.
Internal Control designates internal auditors or external entities/persons who can perform internal audits based on any of the following criteria:
Internal Auditors:
• More than 1 year of work experience.
• Certificate of attendance to an Internal Control training course, relevant to the standards to be audited.
• Complete high school education.
External entities
• More than two years performing audits
• Certificate of attendance to an Internal Control training course, relevant to the standards to be audited.
The audit team, at least one week in advance, plans the development of the audit using the form “Audit Plan”, for which it must define: objective, criteria, scope, place, date, audit team and audit plan (schedule, process/ aspect, responsible and auditor). This document will be valid for informing the organization that an internal audit has been carried out. In addition, during this stage, checklists or questionnaires are prepared to be developed during the execution of the audit.
As established in the Audit Plan, the audit is carried out considering:
a) Kick-Off Meeting
The audit begins with the kick-off meeting, attended by the owners of the processes to be audited and the audit team. At the meeting, the lead auditor reviews the audit plan and validates it with the process owners.
b) Audit Development
The auditing team is on schedule and begins to carry out the audit of the personnel involved. Detection of Findings
Any deviation or non-compliance observed with respect to what is stipulated in the Integrated Management System documentation or in the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013 standards, is considered as an audit non-conformity.
Any non-compliance found during the conduct of the audit interviews must be indicated by the auditors to the auditee or to the owner of the process, before leaving the area being audited.
c) Auditors meeting
Once the interviews that make up the audit are completed, the audit team meets to review and categorize the audit findings. Findings may result in Nonconformities or Opportunities for Improvement.
d) Closing Meeting
The closing meeting, previously agreed in the planning of the internal audit, includes the presentation, by the auditing team, of the findings. At this stage, auditees are invited to clarify any doubts regarding the findings detected and are given instructions on the steps to follow.
The Audit Team has one week from the execution of the audit to prepare and submit to the Internal Control Department
• the “Audit Report”,
• corrective Action Request” (CAR) records.
Environmental Report EcoPorts PERS 2024
Environmental management and port eco-efficiency
Internal Control will have one more week to review and subsequently distribute the above documentation to those responsible for processing the findings.
Treatment and follow-up of findings
The area managers or process owners, within a period not exceeding two weeks, carry out the treatment of the findings, starting by establishing the reactions (or immediate actions) of the nonconformities. In addition, they analyze and respond to opportunities for improvement.
The process for the treatment and follow-up of findings is detailed in the Corrective Action Procedure.

4.1.5 External audits of compliance with the goals and actions committed in the Clean Production Agreements (CPA)
Antofagasta Mining and Port Logistics Clean Production Agreement (CPA)
In September 2016, Antofagasta Port signed a “Clean Production Agreement (CPA) Antofagasta Mining and Port Logistics”, which includes the following milestones:
- Diagnosis: the subscribing companies must carry out an evaluation of each of their facilities intervened by the CPA, with external personnel, to determine the initial status of each one of them, with respect to the goals and actions committed.
- Follow-up and progress control: must be carried out by each facility or process involved in the APL management area, through independent audits that report on the progress of the goals and actions established in the agreement. The subscribing companies must submit a follow-up and control audit report in the eighth and fourteenth month, counted from the signing of the CPA document.
- Final compliance evaluation: after the deadline established in the CPA to comply with the established goals and actions, the final evaluation of compliance will be carried out, through the corresponding audit.
- CPA compliance certification: once the final compliance audit is completed, a report is issued indicating the percentage of final compliance achieved by the facility. If 100% compliance is achieved, the company may be granted the CPA Compliance Certificate.
In May 2019 Antofagasta Port obtained the certification of compliance with the goals and actions committed in the CPA, such certification is valid until May 2022.
In November 2020 and 2021 the certification was ratified through audits conducted by an independent third party, where the Antofagasta Port obtained 100% compliance.
The CPA ended in 2022.
In September 2015, Antofagasta Port signed a “Clean Production Agreement (APL) for the La Negra Industrial Zone”.

Environmental management and port eco-efficiency
In November 2023 Antofagasta Port obtained certification of compliance with the goals and actions committed to in the CPA, which is valid until November 2025.
Based on the reviews of the environmental management system, the following improvement plans have been defined for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
1.- Creation of a Sustainability and Climate Change Policy
In 2022, the Sustainability Committee published a new Sustainability and Climate Change Policy, thus giving greater emphasis to the climate change condition in the company’s management.
The Sustainability and Climate Change Policy follows the guidelines and directives indicated in these matters by the Public Enterprise System (SEP), as well as the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and Chile’s Nationally Determined Contribution of April 2020. For this purpose, it promotes business management that materializes actions based on the following pillars:
•Innovation and digital transformation
•Community engagement and communication
•Environment and climate change adaptation
•Fair and gender-equitable work
2.- Training of Internal Auditors
During 2023, the course “Training of Internal Auditors for Integrated Quality, Environmental and Information Security Management Systems, based on ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013 standards, was carried out.
Ten Antofagasta Port employees participated and were provided with the knowledge and tools necessary to carry out internal audits of the management system. This course lasted 24 hours.
During the years 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Environmental Surveillance Plans for the marine environment have continued to control the quality of the water column and marine sediments inside and outside the dock of the Port of Antofagasta.
The objective of the implementation of the environmental monitoring system is to have accurate and timely information on the characteristics and quality of the water in the shelter pool, in order to support the sustainability of the daily operations of the port of Antofagasta.
The project consists of installing a data buoy at site zero of the harbor’s shelter pool, which will monitor the following data: pH, oxygen temperature, water turbidity and presence of hydrocarbons. On land, PM 10 and PM 2.5 particulate matter data will be collected. The information will be collected on a permanent basis and sent to a digital central, which will process environmental information from terrestrial and maritime points, located at ground zero of the port’s shelter.
5.- Enter the Portezuelo Campus into the Integrated Management System.
As a way to improve the environmental management of the Portezuelo Campus, the Antofagasta Port established the implementation of the ISO 14001:2015 standard at the site. This project is expected to be developed during 2024.
*This project is subject to budgetary approval
Antofagasta Port provides environmental information to the public or other interested parties on its environmental impact and the performance of the main environmental aspects of the port, through the publication of this document on its website, which includes:
