Reference News Network, November 17 report. According to EFE News Agency, November 14. The Port of Chancay, invested and built by China COSCO Shipping Ports Co., Ltd., celebrated its first anniversary of opening on November 14. In the past year, the port has handled more than 270,000 TEU of container throughput. The Port of Chancay has become an emerging port hub connecting China with the South Pacific region.

This large infrastructure project is located about 80 kilometers north of Lima, the capital of Peru. The Port of Chancay was officially launched on November 14, 2024.

In its first year of operation, the Port of Chancay received 289 cargo ships (67% were container ships, 33% were bulk carriers).

The Peruvian authorities emphasized that the economic benefits brought by the Port of Chancay are also reflected in greatly shortening the transportation time between Peru and Asia, which enhances the competitiveness of Peruvian export products and reduces import costs.

According to Latin American News Agency, November 14. The Port of Chancay, jointly built by China and Peru, celebrated its first anniversary of opening on November 14. This port has successfully consolidated a new strategic axis between South America and Asia, and plans to increase the number of wharf berths from 4 to 15.

The Port of Chancay was officially put into operation on November 14, 2024. In the past year, this port has handled more than 270,000 standard containers, and business volume has continued to grow.

The Port of Chancay is known for its high level of automation. Container trucks transporting goods do not directly enter the port area, but instead pass through a tunnel, guided into the port by an automated transport system controlled by a control center, with the entire process resembling an electronic game.

The huge cranes do not have operator cabins and are also controlled by operators at the control center. Many of these operators are young people from Chancay. This super port is an important source of employment for local residents.

The tunnel was built to avoid heavy transport vehicles interfering with nearby neighborhoods and to ensure smooth cargo transportation. There is also space reserved in the tunnel for future installation of pipelines to facilitate the entry and exit of goods such as grain. Products transported via this port include fish meal, avocados, grapes, and blueberries, as well as heavy machinery, solar panels, home appliances, and grains.

In terms of social impact, it is worth noting that 56% of the operating staff at this super port are residents of nearby Chancay.

Gonzalo Rios, Deputy General Manager of China COSCO Shipping Ports Peru Chancay Company, said: "The first year of operation has confirmed the vision when the Port of Chancay was created: to become a strategic hub connecting South America and Asia, as well as an engine for promoting the sustainable development of the country and its people."
