More on the horizon…
Chile will be the first country in Latin America to operate an electric tug thanks to an agreement between ENAP and SAAM Towage.
A third electric tug will be added to our fleet. It will operate in the Aysén Region at Puerto Chacabuco, one of the southernmost terminals in the world. There it will provide berthing and unberthing services for vessels, emitting zero greenhouse gases and significantly reducing environmental and underwater noise.
