The initiative reinforces CMP\u2019s commitment to sustainable mining and the responsible development of coastal communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1\u00eda Minera del Pac\u00edfico (CMP) officially handed over a new facility for the handling and storage of hydrocarbons to the Association of Artisanal Fishers and Divers of Caldera. The project represents a significant step forward in the responsible management of resources and the protection of the marine environment, made possible through the joint efforts of the company and the local artisanal fishing sector.<\/p>\n

The new facility will enhance safety and environmental management at the only artisanal fishing shipyard in Caldera and the northern macrozone, helping to reduce pollution from used oils, lower the carbon footprint, and protect the marine ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction of this hydrocarbon storage room addresses a concrete need of Caldera\u2019s fishing sector and, at the same time, marks an important step toward protecting our oceans. It reflects a joint effort and a shared commitment to building a cleaner, more sustainable community with opportunities for all,\u201d said Mat\u00edas C\u00e1novas, Superintendent of CMP\u2019s Puerto Punta Totoralillo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The initiative was developed as part of CMP\u2019s 2023\u20132026 Artisanal Fishing Collaboration Agreement, under its Environmental Management line of action, reaffirming the mutual commitment to promoting sustainable development in the territory.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOne of our major challenges has been the management of used lubricating oils from boat engines. Thanks to CMP\u2019s support, we now have a facility that will prevent these oils from ending up in the sea or soil, where they could seriously harm the environment,\u201d stated Fabi\u00e1n Salazar, President of the Association of Artisanal Fishers and Divers of Caldera.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Camilo Cifuentes, Caldera\u2019s Port Captain, noted that,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis implementation directly benefits the management and oversight of activities in the shipyard, which must meet specific safety and environmental standards. We are grateful for CMP\u2019s support in carrying out this initiative, which benefits the fishing community and all users of this space.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The facility was designed for the temporary storage of used oils and lubricants, preventing spills and leaks through the use of impermeable flooring and secondary containment systems. It also facilitates collection by authorized waste managers, in compliance with current safety, ventilation, and signage standards.<\/p>\n
