In the first years of starting its operations, it is projected that the multipurpose port of Chancay could mobilize between 30% and 40% of the national maritime cargo destined for China and Southeast Asia, according to the Foreign Trade Research and Development Institute of the Lima Chamber of Commerce (Idexcam).
“It would mean transporting between 950,247 and 1 million 266,996 tons. The port of Chancay will facilitate access to the Southeast Asian market so that businessmen and entrepreneurs can sell their products abroad, in addition to buying inputs or capital goods that help their businesses,” said Óscar Quiñones, head of Idexcam.
Likewise, it is important to highlight that the main potential products for export would be perishable inputs, such as those that make up traditional fishing, non-traditional fishing and non-traditional agriculture, concentrating 63% of the total exported value.
The Chancay megaport, with an investment of US$1.3 billion in its first stage, would concentrate part of the maritime exports from the ports of Ilo, Salaverry, Callao, Paita and Pisco, with direct destination to Southeast Asian countries, such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.
