The arrival of the MN Glovis Leader at the North Multipurpose Terminal, operated by APM Terminals Callao, represents a new advancement for Peruvian port activity as it is the world's largest capacity car carrier, stated Stephany Bravo De Rueda, the company's General Cargo Commercial Manager.
She mentioned that unlike car carriers that usually arrive in the country, with an average capacity of between 5,000 and 6,500 units, the MN Glovis Leader can transport up to 10,800 vehicles. It can transport different types of vehicles, including electric models, hybrids, and heavy machinery for mining, infrastructure, and other projects.
"Handling a vessel of these characteristics confirms that our infrastructure, equipment, and operational talent are prepared to respond to the new demands of the automotive industry. This milestone demonstrates that APM Terminals Callao continues to strengthen the capabilities of the North Terminal to receive increasingly modern vessels, ensuring efficient and reliable operations for our clients," said Stephany Bravo De Rueda.
In addition to its record capacity, she continued, the MN Glovis Leader stands out for incorporating sustainability criteria by operating on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), a cleaner fuel than traditional marine fuels.
She indicated that investments made in previous projects have prepared the North Terminal to receive vessels of these characteristics. This process will continue with phase 3B, a new stage that will be developed in two parts and involves an investment of 570 million dollars for civil works for general and containerized cargo to become a world-class port and continue positioning the country. The next start of works is scheduled for June 26, 2026.
Finally, she maintained that the presence of this vessel in Callao reaffirms APM Terminals Callao's commitment to modern, efficient, and sustainable port infrastructure, capable of meeting the new trends in international maritime transport and contributing to the competitiveness of Peruvian foreign trade.
