📋 Tender Overview
New regulation encourages port efficiency and development. It will also allow extending concessions and improving terminal connectivity.Through the Supreme Decree No. 009-2025-MTC, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) modified the Regulation of the National Port System Law to promote greater operational efficiency and promote new investments in the countrys port infrastructure.
The standard introduces key changes aimed at dynaming port activity and strengthening logistics connectivity. One of the main advances is that the master plans of the port terminals, approved by the National Port Authority (APN), may include proposals that improve the competitiveness and connection of the port with its economic environment.
In addition, it is established that port administrators may request exclusivity in the provision of essential services under specific conditions, their automatic approval being the established requirements.
Another relevant change is the possibility of extending port concessions for up to 30 years additional to the original term. This extension will be granted prior technical evaluation through the procedure of contractual modification by means of ADD, which will allow dealers to plan new investments with legal certainty and economic recovery horizon.
With these measures, the MTC seeks not only to improve the efficiency of the ports, but also to consolidate them as strategic platforms for regional and national development, integrating them more competitively to the South Pacific trade.
The publication of this rule reaffirms the commitment of the MTC to sustainable development and modernization of the port system, in line with the countrys economic growth objectives.
