The TOC Americas event is one of the most important meetings of port activity and the container supply chain in Latin America, and this year it was held in Lima, Peru, between October 18 and 20, with several novelties such as the return to face-to-face and a clear focus on sustainable development strategies in the industry.
TOC conferences are recognized for their networking events, which bring together speakers, delegates and attendees in a pleasant atmosphere of camaraderie and conversation, setting the tone for long-term relationships that grow beyond the formalities of business.
Organized by APM Terminals Callao and DP World Callao, the event brought together 1,400 people and included topics such as: green energy and energy transition, sustainability, digitalization and automation; and on the other hand, the analysis of the market landscape, freight rate fluctuations, resilience and efficiency of the supply chain.
Felipe Chamas, Container Manager of Transmares, a division of Ultranav Chile, commented that “in TOC Americas there are all the large shipping lines that are our customers, therefore, it is very important to attend this event, where there are also the terminals, which are key players from a commercial point of view. In addition, we learned about new port developments, in this case we visited the port of Chancay, which seeks to be a solution for the transport of a mining company but in the future will be a transfer terminal that will join the port of Callao. This is a development that we have to look at closely as it is very relevant to our feeder business.”
Alejandra Canales, senior general manager of the Break Bulk unit of Ultranav Chile, added that “TOC Americas 2022 gave us the opportunity to bring together different business units of the Ultranav and Ultramar group. The strength generated by presenting ourselves with customers and suppliers is incredible, because the group that was in Lima was very powerful. These instances must be used to disseminate our services and the culture of the team.”
