WWL adds call at San Antonio, Chile

   Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics has expanded its roll-on/roll-off vessel service to South America’s west coast this month by adding a monthly call to San Antonio, Chile.
   “San Antonio is an important addition to WWL’s ocean network because of its close proximity to Santiago, Chile’s capital — a rising market for both auto and heavy equipment imports,” said Rich Heintzelman, executive vice president and commercial head of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Americas, in a statement.
   The company said its ocean service to South America’s west coast also connects shippers moving cargo to and from Europe and North America.
   Port calls on the service include Europe (Bremerhaven, Zeebrugge, Southampton and Santander), North America (Baltimore, Galveston and Veracruz), and South America (Cartagena, Manzanillo, Guayaquil, Callao, Angamos and San Antonio).
