Chile-Argentina logistics and energy integration

Overview

Chile and Argentina are advancing several strategic initiatives to enhance regional connectivity, logistics, and energy integration.

In Chile, the Empresa Portuaria Iquique has proposed a Regional Logistics Policy intended to run until 2050. This plan seeks to establish Iquique as a major Pacific hub by integrating maritime, airport, and free trade zone infrastructure to optimize international trade. Concurrently, the two nations are negotiating an energy corridor to export gas from Argentina’s Vaca Muerta formation to Asian markets via Chilean port terminals.

Furthering these connectivity goals, officials are coordinating the Paso Las Leñas project. This initiative involves constructing a low-altitude tunnel to link San Rafael, Argentina, with Rancagua in Chile’s O’Higgins Region. The project aims to provide a year-round operational alternative for international trade and relies on the reactivation of the binational entity EBILEÑAS to facilitate public and private sector cooperation.
