Direct peers

• Agunsa: Major Chilean multimodal logistics provider with strong port, container, and freight forwarding operations across Latin America. Directly comparable to Sert Chile as a port-adjacent logistics coordinator serving Chilean export/import flows, but at significantly larger scale.
• Cool Carriers: Specialized refrigerated container operator serving perishable cargo in Latin American trade lanes. Directly comparable to Sert Chile's refrigerated container transport offering for fruit exporters, with similar reefer-focused equipment and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Hapag-Lloyd Chile: Global container line serving Chilean ports with significant reefer capability, including for fresh fruit exports. Competes indirectly with Sert Chile by offering integrated door-to-door services for the same Chilean exporter customers.
• San Antonio Terminal Internacional (STI): Operator of the San Antonio container terminal—one of the three ports where Sert Chile maintains an office. While primarily a terminal operator, STI's landside logistics partnerships compete with Sert Chile's drayage and container coordination services.
• DHL Global Forwarding Chile: Worldwide freight forwarding arm of Deutsche Post DHL, active across Chilean ports with full customs, ocean, and overland capabilities. Comparable to Sert Chile for shippers needing integrated export logistics, though DHL's portfolio spans many more service lines.
• Compañía Sudamericana de Vapores (CSAV): Chilean shipping and logistics conglomerate with container and reefer expertise serving Chilean exporters. Historically dominant in Chilean maritime logistics and competes with Sert Chile for export container volumes.
• Terminal Pacífico Sur (TPS) Valparaíso: Container terminal operator at the Port of Valparaíso, headquarters city of Sert Chile. Provides landside coordination and competes for the same drayage and export container logistics flows that Sert Chile serves.
• Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) Chile: World's largest container shipping line with strong presence at Chilean ports. While primarily an ocean carrier, MSC's logistics arm competes for the same export customers as Sert Chile for inland container movement and integrated supply chain services.
• Maersk Chile: Global container shipping and integrated logistics major with end-to-end inland services in Chile, including drayage and reefer logistics. Directly comparable in serving fruit exporters at Chilean ports, though as part of Maersk's global integrator model.
• Kuehne+Nagel Chile: Global freight forwarder with substantial Chilean operations covering ocean, air, and overland transport for exporters. Overlaps with Sert Chile in container drayage and refrigerated export logistics but operates as part of a global network.
