Only during the third quarter of 2022, the port terminal has attended the loading and unloading of different project and bulk cargo vessels. “At the beginning of 2021 we implemented a new bulk transfer system, an investment that has allowed us to generate greater efficiency, always with the highest standards of quality and safety,” said Mario Ríos, general manager of Puerto Las Losas. The new bulk transfer system consists of a system of fixed and mobile belts and a telestack ship loader. The investment, close to US$ 11.5 million, allows Puerto Las Losas to ship a volume of up to 1.9 million tons per year of bulk minerals consisting of basic pellets, pellet feed and iron concentrate.
