Port of Caldera

Caldera Port (UN/LOCODE CLCLD), located in Chile’s Atacama region at 27.03 S, 70.80 W, serves as a key maritime gateway to the northern Chilean coast. Operated under the Chilean time zone America/Santiago, the facility accommodates medium-sized vessels with regular transshipment services to coastal communities and inland markets. Its quay infrastructure supports bulk cargo handling, fish processing exports, and regional logistics for mining. The port’s proximity to rail links and highway networks enhances multimodal connectivity, making it a strategic node for South American trade routes. Managed by local authorities, Caldera continues to refine port efficiency, expand berth capacity, and promote sustainable maritime operations.
