📋 Tender Overview
With the execution of the new port projects, Peru will continue to strengthen its port potential and Hub in the region. These are the ports of Chimbote, Pucallpa, Saramiriza and Iquitos.Lima, May 12, 2025.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency (Proinversion) promotes the modernization of four strategic port terminals in the country, through three public-private association projects (app), with an estimated investment of US $ 580 million. These initiatives will benefit the regions of Ancash, Loreto and Ucayali, with the aim of strengthening logistics competitiveness, energizing regional economies and promoting foreign trade.
The Chimbote International Terminal is a private initiative in structuring, whose declaration of interest is expected for July 2025, with awarding programmed for the fourth quarter if there are no interested third parties. The project will demand an estimated investment of US $ 262 million and will generate more than 2,000 jobs between direct and indirect during its construction stage.
Located in the Ferrol Bay (Santa Province, Ancash), the new terminal will attend fractional load, solid and liquid bulk, and will have a specialized spring for contained loading, porch cranes and a modern container courtyard. In addition, an environmental impact study and a social management plan will be implemented for its adequate territorial insertion.
In the Amazon, Proinversion advances with the new Pucallpa port terminal (Ucayali), which will require an investment of US $ 185 million. Currently, this project will improve multimodal connectivity, optimizing river and terrestrial transport in the region. It will allow greater fluidity in commercial exchange between Ucayali and Loreto, and Ucayali and Lima, reducing logistics costs and facilitating access of mass consumption products to cities such as Iquitos.
On the other hand, the new port terminals of Loreto, with a projected investment of US $ 132 million and award planned for 2026, will include the construction of port facilities in Sinchicuy (20 km from Iquitos, in the province of Maynas) and Saramiriza (Datem Province of Maranon). The objective is to provide the modern infrastructure region for the shipment and disembarkation of goods, generating new economic development opportunities in the Amazon.
These four strategic projects promoted by proinversion represent an important step towards the modernization of the national port system. By improving logistics efficiency, reducing transport times and costs, and promoting private investment, the economic integration of Peru is strengthened with international markets, especially in the most remote regions of the country.
New ports
On the other hand, Proinversion has carried out the demand studies for the development of the Lambayeque Port Terminal Project. In this study, existing and potential load has been identified, especially the Olmos II Phase and Chavimochic Stage III irrigation projects, as well as the mining projects of Michiquillay, La Granja, El Galen, Canariaco, Rio Blanco and Canon Florida, among others. Based on these studies, the National Port Authority (APN) will update the Master Plan, in order to initiate the process of promoting private investment of said port project.
On the other hand, it seeks to do the same within the framework of the institutional support, with actions that complement the viabilization by APN of other port projects with high development potential, such as the ilo port terminal (Moquegua), the Port Terminal Admiral Miguel Grau (Tacna), or the port terminal of Corio (Arequipa), for which said entity would be carrying out the corresponding studies.
