Abstract

This article looks at the regulatory dilemmas involved in the port terminal tendering processes in San Antonio and Valparaíso between 2010 and 2013. While basic port service fees were subject to regulation, competition between terminals was chosen as the preferred mechanism for controlling the market power of incumbents. This competition between terminals has enabled the vertical restrictions established in the earliest tendering processes to be relaxed, although restrictions on horizontal integration have been maintained. The article ends with some conclusions to guide future port concession processes.
