Few South American ports pack as much of a country's trade into one bay as Valparaíso, through which roughly a third of Chile's foreign commerce passes. The nation's second container port after San Antonio, it moved about 8.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2024 across its TPS and TPV terminals, up 2.4%. Containers are handled at Terminal Pacífico Sur (TPS), rated near 1.3 million TEU of capacity and working close to 1 million TEU a year, while Terminal Cerros de Valparaíso (TCVAL) takes general and bulk cargo. Exports lean heavily on wine, fresh fruit, copper and fish products; imports bring machinery and vehicles. Seasonal reefer flows of grapes and stone fruit make cold-chain capacity a defining feature. Road and rail climb inland to the Santiago basin, the country's main consumption and production centre. Shippers chasing the deepest draught or pure box volume often prefer adjacent San Antonio, but Valparaíso holds its own on reefer and project cargo.
