Late last Friday evening, Hernan Vedia Lopez, a port worker at the TPS (South Pacific Terminal) facility, was apparently struck and killed by a rubber tired gantry crane within the terminal’s container yard. We understand that the yard was associated with operations at Berth 5 (see photo below). We await further information from sources at Valparaiso, but until then provide the following hyperlinks to available media accounts:
