Six car carrier companies who had faced fines of $75m over anti-competitive business practices in Chile have seen the final figure come in at a much lower level, with some escaping any sanction.
The Chilean competition court has fined two of the companies a total of $9.1m and has exempted or acquitted others.
The operators had been accused of taking part in a customer allocation scheme in which they competed only for new business in the ro-ro trade between Asia and Chile, according to a complaint filed by the Chilean prosecutor's office (FNE) in January 2015.
