📋 Tender Overview
These structures will increase the capacity of the terminal from 25,000 to 85,000 tons, facilitating greater efficiency in merchandise management.The Ministry of Transport and Communications reports that the expansion works of the Northern Multipurpose Terminal of Puerto del Callao have an advance of 72%. The construction of 12 vertical silos in the port operated by APM Terminals will increase the capacity of the terminal, making it one of the fastest discharge ports in the country.
Silos that are in assembly process have a capacity to store 60,000 tons of clean grains, which will increase the capacity of the terminal from 25,000 to 85,000 tons, facilitating greater efficiency in merchandise management.
Currently, electromechanical mechanisms and the conveyor belt are being installed for, in the coming months, start operations. In this modern port infrastructure, two continuous grain downloaders, advanced technology that will significantly accelerate the boat discharge process will also be installed, as it will reduce waiting times and improve the competitiveness of the port.
These improvements are part of stage 3 of the project and will position the port of Callao as the most efficient grain terminal in South America. 2.13 hectares of pavements were also built and important improvements are carried out in the access door for general load, which will allow optimizing the circulation and flow of goods in the area.
The investment in this project amounts to US $ 95 million. North spring serves 73% of the wheat load, 54% corn and 100% barley that reaches the country.
Currently, this infrastructure is under construction prior approval of the technical work files by the National Port Authority (APN), responsible for the development of the National Port System, which will allow better management of this type of load, reducing the waiting times of the ships.
