Location
Background
The Port of Coronel has been operating since 1996, beginning as an export facility for break-bulk forest products.[1] The port handles general cargo, containers, coal, wood, timber, and cellulose though four piers.[2] The city of Coronel has had a connection to the coal industry since the 1850s, when coal mines developed in the area; the Coronel and Lota mines, which initially provided bunkering support to ships passing through the Strait of Magellan, continued to support Chilean industry for more than a century until their definitive closure in 1997.[3][4]
For details on coal imports through the Port of Coronel, see the separate pages for Puerto Coronel coal terminal and Cabo Froward coal terminal.
