First Ships to Arrive at Peru’s Chancay Megaport in Early 2025

Cosco Shipping Ports Chancay Peru has announced that the first container ships will arrive at the Chancay Megaport within the first two months of 2025, following its scheduled inauguration in November this year.

Alonso Guinand, Commercial Manager of Cosco Shipping, confirmed that despite ongoing legal disputes with the Peruvian Government regarding the port’s concession contract, construction remains on track. The National Port Authority (APN) has raised concerns about the exclusivity terms of the facilities.

“We are very focused on the operation. The plan is to inaugurate in November and begin receiving vessels between January and February next year. Construction has not halted at any point,” Guinand stated in an interview with Canal N.

Guinand emphasized that Cosco retains exclusivity over this private project for public use and is diligently working to meet the agreed-upon deadlines.

“The port must be operational by November. We are actively engaged in commercial negotiations with shipping lines and coordinating all related activities,” he added.

Addressing the political climate, Guinand also commented on the recent Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP) survey indicating that President Dina Boluarte has a mere 5% approval rating.

“Political instability is never advantageous for any project, particularly large-scale ones. However, our focus remains on advancing the project for the country’s benefit,” Guinand explained.
