Container Handling > 100 boxes/hr Puerto Lirquen, Chile The Port of Lirquen, located in the bay of Conception in the 8th Region of Chile, handled a total of 231,000 TEU during 2008, which represented a 13 % growth over the previous year, thus becoming the most important port in Chile dedicated to containerized car- go. It is conveniently located near the City Conception, with easy access to highways and rail tracks heading to Chile's hinterland. In January 2008, the Board approved an investment plan to be carried out within the next 36 months. This plan included the extension of the pier Nr 2 and procurement of new port equip- ment to expand the receiving/dispatch capacity to/from the port. Global carriers such as Maersk Line and Hamburg Sud have weekly calls to Puerto Lirquen, linking Europe, West Africa and the Far East with Chile.
