Santiago, Chile • Santiago’s metropolitan region occupies an area of 15,403 km2 (2.0% of continental Chile) • Population is 6,061,185 inhabitants (40.1% of the country) • More than 10 million inhabitants are concentrated at less than 300 Km from Santiago (> 60% Chilean population) • Chile’s highest concentration of population and percentage of GDP is in Santiago. As a result, its growth rate is above the national average. • Main economic activities are: (1) business and finance services; (2) manufacturing industry; (3) commerce, restaurants and hotels. They represent more than 60% of GDP • GDP per capita in Chile reached US$14,461 PPP in 2009 • IMF projects increases up to US$18,000 PPP in the year 2014
Overview of Freight Movement in Santiago, Chile • Road transport accounts for around 88% of national freight transport • in 2007, close to 225 MMT (million metric tons) of freight were moved • 57% corresponds to movement of national cargo • 39% to cargo mobilized towards or from ports, and • the remaining 4% to cargo destined for terrestrial foreign trade • 60,770 MMT/km were mobilized, only considering movement within national territory • Regarding cargo transported by truck: • 62% corresponds to national movement, • 33% to maritime foreign trade (i.e., road transport to and from ports), and • 5% to terrestrial foreign trade itself

Regulations and Restriction to Truck Movement in Santiago • The main negative externalities, produced by urban cargo transportation in Santiago, can be classified by 5 types: • Vehicular Congestion: because it is concerned with vehicles of a bigger size than cars and circulate at a slower speed, especially in turns and acceleration/deceleration cycles at intersections. • Accidents: due to their size and weight, the accidents for this type of vehicle are often serious if light vehicles are involved. • Acoustic Contamination: because of the motors size and characteristics. • Air contamination: due to gas emission and particulate matter, produced by Diesel engines. • Pavement Destruction: due to the heavy weight of their chassis these vehicles use for their operation, in comparison to cars or other light vehicles
Regulations and Restriction to Truck Movement in Santiago • Current regulations for freight transport in the city of Santiago aim fundamentally at the reduction of vehicular congestion and environmental contamination. • There are restrictions on: • Circulation of freight vehicles during specific times, on specific routes; • On dimension and weight, • Vehicle age and emission levels, • Truck configuration and • On parking; there are designated areas and times permitted for loading and unloading

Characteristics of the Abertis Logistics Park Project in Santiago • Located inside the ENEA business complex • 2.2 Km from the Santiago’s, AMB International Airport (SCL) • With direct access to: Costanera Norte Vespucio Express • Total area of 632,810 m2, and will house 327,798 m2 of warehouse space for rent and 13,056 m2 for services
Conclusions: Transferability and Evaluation of the Abertis Logistics Park in Santiago • A logistics park like this acts as an instrument of territorial arrangement, through the integration between the land and the city. • The construction of storage technology and security systems have been proven able to be replicable and transferrable from Spain to Chile. • We think that this project is transferable; to the extent that the location has good accessibility, connectivity, and proximity to the main cargo terminals and populated centers. • This requires a good location and good road infrastructure. • Finally, since a logistics park is a long-term investment, for a company such as Abertisor any other is critical to have economic, political and jurisdictional stability wherever they invest.
Conclusions: Transferability and Evaluation of the Abertis Logistics Park in Santiago • Restrictions to truck movements inside the city, encourage a project like this in which X-docking and consolidation of cargo in/out of the city can be accomplished, thus reducing transportation costs • Location in a business and industrial complex with many warehouses nearby, creates opportunities for carriers to consolidate and/or balance their loads when moving cargo in/out of the logistics park • Economic growth and the development of the logistics sector are important ingredient • Finally, this project is in its initial steps; risk factors that can materialize are low demand for this high quality warehousing services. However: • From the 20,000 m2 of first stage inaugurated last September. 12,500 m2are already rented to two logistics operators: APL Logistics and CevaLogistics • They plan to inaugurate the second stage of 20,000 m2 in the middle of 2011
