📋 Tender Overview
The TPL and the TPME are different projects: the first, with public-private investment (PPP), the second, a private proposal. Both strengthen regional port infrastructure.The port development of Lambayeque is currently structured around two independent but complementary initiatives: the Lambayeque Port Terminal (TPL) and the Eten Multipurpose Port Terminal (TPME). Although both projects seek to consolidate the strategic position of the region as a logistics point in the north of the country, they differ in their investment model, management structure and development process.
1. Lambayeque Port Terminal (TPL)
The TPL is proposed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) modality, promoted by the Regional Government of Lambayeque, with the purpose of providing the region with a modern, multiple-use port that meets the growing demand for exports and imports.
This initiative, whose process is led by PROINVERSION, with Legislative Decree 1362, seeks to combine private investment with public participation, guaranteeing sustainability and alignment with the objectives of the National Port System. Through the PPP modality, the State retains a promoting, supervisory, and ownership role in the Port, while private capital assumes the execution, operation, and maintenance of the infrastructure, under the concession mechanism.
The project is part of the regional logistics integration strategy, aimed at improving land, sea and air connectivity of the Lambayeque-Cajamarca-La Libertad axis, favoring the competitiveness of the productive sectors.
2. Eten Multipurpose Port Terminal (TPME)
On the other hand, the TPME corresponds to a private proposal, presented by the company Port Nexus S.A.C., which does not require public resources. Its development is governed by the procedure established by the National Port Authority (APN), within the framework of the National Port System Law 29743, which contemplates four stages: temporary technical feasibility, definitive viability, port authorization and port license.
The TPME approach is essentially business: it seeks to take advantage of Etens strategic location to develop a multipurpose terminal aimed at serving containerized cargo, bulk and industrial products, under international standards of efficiency and environmental sustainability.
3. Strategic complementarity
Although they are developed independently, both initiatives converge on the same purpose: strengthening the port infrastructure of Lambayeque and positioning the region as a key logistics hub in northern Peru.
The coexistence of a public-private model and another purely private model represents an opportunity to diversify investment sources and expand port service capacity.
