Tercop SpA is a privately held Chilean logistics and container warehousing company headquartered in Pudahuel, Santiago (Camino la Farfana #400), operating from a 7-hectare terminal within Bodegas San Francisco, Chile's largest warehouse terminal complex (1.5M+ m2). The company delivers four integrated service lines: Depósito (Depot), covering planning, reception, dispatch, warehousing, and box inspection for maritime containers; Transporte (Transportation), covering import, export, and local transport; Servicio a la Carga (Cargo Service), covering transshipment, consolidation, and deconsolidation; and Arriendos (Rentals), covering maritime containers, Reach Stacker cranes, and Top Lifter cranes. The terminal is positioned at minimum distance to the Ports of Valparaíso and San Antonio, with direct access to Routes 68 and 78 via Vespucio, and only 3 KM from MEDLOG.

The company holds ISO 28000 certification for supply chain security, and operates terminal security with controlled access, 24x7 guards, and external CCTV monitoring. The business model is B2B enterprise sales with quote-based pricing determined by service type, volume, and contract terms; revenue is generated through managed services (storage), transaction fees (transport and cargo handling), and hardware-related rentals (equipment).
Tercop is supported by an integrated technology platform comprising a Container Yard Control System, ZiYU truck tracking, automated shift closure reports, transshipment photo/video documentation, and APIs and web services for client system integration. Marketing and distribution are limited to direct B2B sales, a corporate website (in Spanish and English), LinkedIn and Instagram channels, and a newsletter. The company was founded by three partners with senior backgrounds in Chilean and LATAM logistics and port operations: Julio Ramírez V. (formerly General Manager of Sitrans and Ultramar Agencia Marítima), Raimundo Prieto R. (Director of ALOG, Operations Manager of BSF, formerly Ultramar), and Danilo Soto V. (former Sitrans and Ultramar executive, now Terminal Chief). No funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investor involvement are disclosed.
