Overview
- Phase-one operations have handled about 350,000 TEUs with a projection of 500,000 TEUs by December, placing Chancay second nationally after Callao by TEU movement.
- Cosco is negotiating to add Evergreen as a fourth carrier after Cosco, CMA CGM and OOCL, with executives indicating service could begin in 2026 if talks conclude.
- Port legal staff expect the regulation for Private Special Economic Zones within roughly two weeks, a step they say would enable off-terminal logistics developments and possible Temu storage subject to a contract.
- The terminal runs with remote-controlled cranes, AI and autonomous electric yard vehicles, while Cosco reports about 53% of its workforce is from Chancay and roughly 20% are women.
- Local urban needs remain unresolved as the PDU awaits approval, and although the MEF issued a S/109 million decree for priority regional works, construction groups warn broader payment backlogs persist.
