en.Wedoany.com Reported - Since commencing operations through May 2026, the Chancay Port (Puerto de Chancay, Cosco Shipping Ports) has processed over 502,646 TEUs and handled a total cargo volume of 2.4 million tons.
These figures were announced on June 18 during the ceremony marking the first anniversary of the terminal's commercial operations. The event was hosted by Wang Bin, General Manager of Cosco Shipping Ports Chancay Perú, and Song Yang, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Peru.
The Chancay Port optimizes connectivity between Asia and Latin America through three shipping routes—WSA3, WSA5, and ACSA1—reducing transit times to 23 days (to Shanghai) and 25 days (return). This system boosts Peruvian agricultural exports via direct cold chain logistics and, through feeder services to the north (Panama, Guayaquil, Paita) and south, positions the port as a distribution hub while establishing strategic connections with four key terminals in Chile.
From January to May 2026, the number of vessel calls at the port increased by 44% compared to the same period in 2025. During these five months, cargo volume measured in tons grew by 74% year-on-year. The terminal was inaugurated on November 14, 2024, and officially began commercial operations on June 1, 2025.
As part of the anniversary activities, Wang Bin and Song Yang, together with Peruvian government officials, business representatives, and strategic clients, toured the terminal facilities and learned about the major operational and technological advancements implemented during the first commercial year.
Jason Guillén, Deputy General Manager of Cosco Shipping Ports Chancay Perú, stated that the results achieved in the first year confirm that the Chancay Port has become a practical platform connecting opportunities, people, and markets. The company is committed to continuing to strengthen its operations and fully unlock its potential to promote foreign trade, enhance Peru's competitiveness, and drive regional integration.
The company also expressed gratitude to the National Port Authority (Autoridad Portuaria Nacional), the Chancay Customs Office (Intendencia de Aduana de Chancay de la Sunat), the National Police Anti-Drug Directorate (Dirección Antidrogas de la Policía Nacional), and the Chancay Harbor Master's Office (Capitanía de Puerto de Chancay) for their roles in supervision, inspection, customs control, maritime safety, and preventing illegal activities at the terminal. Additionally, recognitions were awarded to representatives of the District Municipality of Chancay (Municipalidad Distrital de Chancay), port employees, clients from the agricultural export, industrial, and automotive sectors, as well as experts and institutions that have accompanied the project's development and fostered Peru-China commercial and cultural relations.
