Copper concentrate from northern Chile's mines is the backbone of cargo at Mejillones, where CODELCO operates a fully sealed, zero-loss conveyor running from pit to vessel. The multipurpose Puerto Angamos terminal works four berths handling vessels up to 366 m and 13.7 m draft, taking containers and general and project cargo alongside the mining trade. Its subsidiary Terminal Graneles del Norte (TGN) discharges coal for two regional power plants, and the complex also includes the GNL Mejillones LNG terminal plus a dedicated area for chemicals, ammonia and explosives. Rail links and paved border highways extend the hinterland to mining districts in Argentina and Bolivia. Channel depths above 20 m suit Capesize bulkers and large breakbulk ships, though Mejillones is not a mainline container port. Forwarders moving boxed cargo usually route through Antofagasta or Iquique nearby.
