The port´s construction in Mejillones was the result of specific studies that revealed Mejillones Bay´s exceptional natural and climatic conditions for the development of a world-class port.

Its development included a new territorial planning concept that ensures the territory´s sustainable use to promote port and industrial expansion in coordination with local and sectorial authorities and

in harmony with Mejillones´ growth.

The main tool for this long-term vision is the Port Master Plan, which sets out the construction plan for six terminals and ample service areas over a 50-year horizon to consolidate a large port and industrial hub in northern Mejillones.
