Chancay Megaport: this is the progress of the project
The Chancay Megaport has experienced substantial progress since the beginning of its construction. This project, which represents a multi-million dollar investment, is designed to increase the country’s port capacity and improve logistics connectivity. To date, according to official projections, the first stage is in a 85%.
The development of the megaport includes the construction of multiple terminals and storage areas, as well as the implementation of cutting-edge technology to optimize port operations. To date, a significant portion of the basic infrastructure has been completed, and the newly arrived gantry cranes will be installed and tested in the coming weeks. This progress ensures that the port will be ready to begin operations on schedule.
Chancay megaport will begin operating in 2025
The official opening of the Chancay Megaport is scheduled for November 2024.

The opening date coincides with the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum 2024 (Aspec). The planning of the inauguration also includes the presence of important political and business figures, highlighting the relevance of the megaport as a strategic project for national development. An example of this is the announced visit of the Chinese president Xi Jinping.
