Valparaíso port expansion wins unanimous environmental approval

The Environmental Evaluation Commission (COEVA) of the Valparaíso region (Chile) has unanimously approved the environmental permit for the Terminal Cerros de Valparaíso (TCVAL) expansion project, according to Puerto Valparaíso.

The initiative will expand the Port of Valparaíso with a new container terminal designed to increase cargo-handling capacity and strengthen the port’s role in international trade. The project also includes urban improvements aimed at integrating port infrastructure with the city’s waterfront.

Authorities said the decision marks a key milestone for the development of the port system in the region and allows the project to move forward to the next stages after completing the environmental evaluation process.
