Antarctic Logistics
Punta Arenas (PUQ) and Puerto Williams (WPU) are the two Chilean gateways to the Antarctic Peninsula, and we work from both. Station resupply, scientific campaign support, cargo consolidation for Antarctic voyages, and inter-season planning for programmes and expedition operators that come back every year.
Talk to our teamStations need more than food. Alongside fresh and frozen provisions and dry goods, we supply and coordinate repairs, servicing and maintenance — boat maintenance among them — and hold station equipment and inventories in storage between seasons.

Repairs, servicing and maintenance
Stations need more than fresh and frozen provisions and dry goods. We supply and coordinate repairs, servicing and maintenance, boat maintenance among them.
Storage between seasons
Station equipment and inventories are held in storage between seasons, ready for the next campaign rather than shipped in from scratch each year.
Samples handled on the way home
Scientific samples are handled on the return leg in whatever condition each one requires — frozen, refrigerated, dry, or under liquid nitrogen.
“Leave Antarctica as we found it.”
Where it fits in the call
Antarctic voyages typically combine a Strait of Magellan transit with provisioning through Amundsen Ship Chandler, crew changes through Just Crew and bonded warehousing at both gateways — all coordinated under the same point of contact as your port agency file.
