Peru Starts Pre-Feasibility for Tumbes–Tacna High-Speed Rail With South Korea’s Support

Dohwa Engineering has formally offered a government-to-government pre-feasibility study to establish costs for the 2,446-km coast corridor.

Si bien recalcó que sin el estudio de Corea no es posible hablar aún de los costos y la inversión necesaria, Sandoval sí aclaró que este proyecto no reemplazará a otro que se cruzaría en su tramo.

Overview

  • The Transport Ministry said Korea’s Dohwa Engineering delivered a letter of intent to conduct the study with support from the South Korean government.
  • Officials stressed the pre-feasibility will define investment needs and technical viability, and no construction financing or timetable has been set.
  • The proposed route spans roughly 2,446 kilometers with 10 stations across Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Áncash, Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna, targeting a 16-hour end-to-end trip.
  • MTC projections cite about 113 million passengers per year and roughly 61.5 million tons of annual freight on the corridor.
  • The initiative complements other rail plans such as Lima–Ica and follows September meetings in Seoul where Minister César Sandoval engaged Korean firms.
