Railway Detours

The railway infrastructure at DP World Lirquén is the most far-reaching, with greatest capacity, and most efficient in the Bío Bío Region. We are constantly working with State railway companies and TRANSAP and FEPASA cargo operators to improve the service to/from the Port’s facilities even more.

Berthing Facilities

Pier 1: Four docking sites with maximum draft of 12.8 meters

It is primarily used for Break Bulk ships, and it is also equipped with a conveyor belt system that enables the mechanized unloading of bulks.

Pier 2: Two docking sites with maximum draft of 15.7 meters

It permits the simultaneous operation of mobile cranes at both sites of the pier, which is why it is preferably designated for the operation of container ships.
