🎉 Today marks the one-year anniversary of Peru’s newest port in Chancay, just north of Lima. This $1.3 billion Chinese-built megaport opened in November 2024 and has hit the ground running, transforming regional trade since day one.
Since opening last November, the port has handled growing volumes of cargo 🚢 and created new opportunities for logistics companies across the country. Local businesses report faster turnaround times, while residents are seeing fresh job opportunities emerge around the port area.
Strategically located on Latin America’s Pacific coast, Chancay offers deep-water berths and modern cranes that are drawing shippers eager for more efficient routes to Asia and beyond 🌏. Its advanced infrastructure aims to ease congestion at traditional hubs and boost Peru’s role in global supply chains.
Looking ahead, operators plan to expand terminal space, add digital services, and roll out new warehousing facilities. With these moves, Chancay is aiming to become the most important port hub on Latin America’s Pacific coast.
As it celebrates this milestone, the Chancay megaport stands as a symbol of Peru’s growing connectivity and ambition on the world stage.
