DP World Powers Chile’s Cherry Export Boom Ahead of Chinese New Year
DP World is boosting cold-chain capacity and vessel operations to handle a 10% rise in refrigerated cherry containers for the 2026 Chinese New Year market, supporting key exporters.
- On Dec. 10, 2025, DP World said it is expanding capacity, accelerating vessel operations, and enhancing cold-chain resiliency at its San Antonio, Chile terminal ahead of the 2026 Chinese New Year.
- Nearly 90% of Chile's cherries flow to China, where demand and US$3.1 billion in exports in 2024 drive capacity scaling.
- Last season the terminal handled more than 12.8 million boxes, and this year it is adding power‑pack deployments, increasing refrigeration technicians by 20%, and expanding reefer maintenance and repair support with real‑time remote container monitoring plus automated vacuum‑mooring technology.
- DP World is deploying additional staff and coordinating with shipping lines, exporters, maritime agencies and customs authorities to maintain reliable express services and support predictable exporter performance.
- For the 2025-2026 season, DP World expects 13 cherry vessels and approximately 14,800 TEU, while CMA CGM's Cherry Express 2025 offers 23-day transit with eight scheduled calls.
