It’s been a year since Peru’s newest port opened its gates in Chancay—just north of Lima—and what a year it’s been! 🎉
This week marks the first anniversary of operations, which kicked off last November. The $1.3 billion Chinese-built megaport celebrated its first year by handling thousands of containers, welcoming vessels from across the globe, and setting new standards for efficiency.
Port operators say the facility is on track to become Latin America’s leading trade hub on the Pacific coast. With state-of-the-art cranes, deep-water berths, and a prime location, Chancay offers faster connections to Asia, North America and beyond. 🚢⚓️
Local businesses and international investors are already reaping the benefits. Analysts expect the port’s growth to drive job creation, boost export opportunities for Peruvian products, and strengthen the country’s role in global supply chains. 🌎📈
Looking ahead, plans are in place to expand warehouse space and roll out green technologies, making Chancay not just larger, but smarter and more sustainable. Stay tuned—this port is only getting started! 🚀
