Yesterday, Kevin, Ruben, and Marcelo were able to make it to the Coronel port. Here’s a picture they sent, condition appears good:
We were also able to speak to a former employee and friend that now works at the Coronel port (he was there yesterday). He shared that it looks like they’ll be back online Monday, and able to ship! Great news of course, let’s hope it happens. Our friend is also going to check on the status of the containers we have at the port, and let us know their condition.
No new updates on road status.
In Solidarity,
Craig
Great news… thanks for keeping us updated.
Is this the primary port used for exporting millwork-related products from Chile?
The Coronel port was used less frequently until a signicant investment by Aracuo; now it’s one of several strategic ports for forest products exports from region VIII.

The port is used often by our ForAction plant.
Please tell me MORE ABOUT THE WHOLE STORY!!! i’d like to put an article in TiC!
