The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), through the National Port Authority (APN), reported that Peru is consolidating its position as a strategic point in the region's maritime trade, thanks to the modernization of its National Port System, which has investment commitments estimated at around US$ 4 billion, aimed at strengthening infrastructure, improving services, and enhancing the country's logistical competitiveness.
The APN highlighted that this growth has been driven by the port concession model, which currently includes nine public-use port terminals conceded in strategic regions such as Callao, Paita, Salaverry, Matarani, Pisco, San Juan de Marcona, and Yurimaguas. By January 2026, these concessions will have an accumulated investment of over US$ 2.3 billion.
Additionally, through private port authorizations, investments exceeding US$ 2.5 billion have been generated. According to the APN, this progress is a result of a state policy supported by the National Port System Law, which guarantees private sector participation and provides legal certainty for investments.
In the medium and long term, the sector contemplates the development of strategic projects such as the port terminals of Lambayeque, Chimbote, and Tacna, as well as the new terminals of Saramiriza and Iquitos. Initiatives are also planned for Pucallpa, Corío, and Ilo, in addition to logistical corridors aimed at integrating and improving national and international trade connectivity.
The announcement was made by the APN during the International Maritime Congress Symposium: Reconfiguring the Geopolitical Scenario, organized by the Inter-American Chamber of National Associations of Maritime Agents (Cianam) and the Peruvian Association of Maritime Agents (APAM).
The MTC reaffirmed its commitment to continue promoting a modern and competitive port system with an open-door policy for investment, in order to boost the growth of national ports and energize the country's economy.
