He Chancay Port Terminalbuilt by the Chinese company Cosco Shipping and promoted by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), has a general progress of 29.69% and is key to international trade because it will be a regional ‘hub’ that will redistribute cargo from the countries of Chile, Ecuador and Colombia.
The head of the MTC, Paola Lazarte, inspected the progress of the works of the Chancay Port Terminal, located in Huaral, a mega-infrastructure that will receive large vessels to meet the growth in port demand, reduce national and international market costs and have a positive impact on the economy.
“This great project will change the life of the country and also of Latin America with a great investment that will improve logistics nationwide. It will be the main port in the region”, remarked Lazarte.
What is the importance of the Chancay megaport?
The economic impact in the area is important because it generates jobs and social investment in various services. “This terminal will facilitate logistics in various cities and will make Peru more competitive. We all win!” said the minister.
The construction of the Port of Chancay will economically benefit thousands of families in the corridor from the center of the country to the coast, impacting the generation of jobs and providing benefits for users of the international trade chain. This work will generate 7,500 direct and indirect jobs.
The project is made up of three large components. One of them is the port operational zone, which includes the breakwaters, maritime entrance channels, maintenance areas and workshops, as well as storage spaces for containers and bulk and rolling cargo.
The second component is the entrance complex and includes the vehicular port, entrance gates, customs inspection area, administrative offices, and logistic and support service areas.
The third stage is the tunnel, which will be 1.8 kilometers long and will form part of a road corridor segregated for cargo transit related to port operations.
