Chile to Tender Ferry System

The Public Works Ministry of Chile will launch a tender to concession a ferry system next year. The concession contract is worth approximately US$500 million. It calls for a ferry system to serve the Puerto Eden-Isla Navarino network and will also include the maintenance, operation and management of the ferry system for an undetermined period of time. An official from the ministry said that a more exact figure would be set after technical and feasibility studies have been conducted. The ferry system will be used to transport cargo and passengers. It is part of the ministry’s southern connectivity plan.
