SAAM Terminals inaugurates modern simulator for crane operator training

SAAM Terminals has launched “the most technologically advanced simulator in Chile”, a training tool to teach new crane operators and retrain existing personnel, aiming to make their work more efficient and safer by optimizing decision making.

“Our people move our terminals day in and day out, and we want them to do it well. This simulator is a state-of-the-art system. Given its mobile structure, we can train workers at San Vicente Terminal Internacional (SVTI), our first location, and at other of our terminals in Chile,” said SAAM Terminals’ CEO, Mauricio Carrasco.



In addition to SVTI, SAAM Terminals operates terminals in San Antonio, Iquique, Antofagasta and Corral in Chile.

According to the company’s announcement, four crane operators have already been trained in Canada and will be in charge of training their colleagues on the STS and MHC systems.

SVTI’s general manager, Juan Pablo Santibáñez, said the equipment offers “an unprecedented level of graphic and sensory realism. It is the most technologically advanced in Chile and among the most advanced in Latin America. This year, we plan to train or retrain 20 people.”
