During his visit to the facilities of the Paita Port Terminal (Piura), the Minister of Transport and Communications, Aldo Prieto, supervised the progress of the port's development, which includes an investment plan of USD 311 million. He confirmed its sustained growth and the execution of important projects that reinforce its strategic role in the north of the country.
During the visit, the terminal's operability and logistical capacity were evaluated with inspections in key areas such as the container zone, scanners, multipurpose docks, and pier, in addition to the control center, noting advancements in infrastructure, efficiency, and technology. In 2025 alone, it achieved a historic record by mobilizing over 3,439,718 tons of cargo, 414,639 TEUs, and 669 vessels.
"The Paita Port Terminal ranks first nationally in refrigerated containers and is consolidating its position as the main logistics hub in northern Peru, boosting agricultural and hydrobiological exports," said Minister Aldo Prieto. Precisely, its strategic location connects Peruvian production with international markets, highlighting products such as grapes, blueberries, avocados, mangoes, and coffee, which are in high international demand.
Paita is strengthened
Among the modernization projects, the Paita Anteport and the improvement of access roads stand out. These include areas for cargo vehicles, information and communication systems, control booths, among others, to organize traffic and decongest the port area and the urban area.
Likewise, the implementation of a landslide containment system and the expansion of reefer racks (a connection platform for refrigerated refrigerated containers) are being considered. Furthermore, technical files have been approved for the acquisition of mobile cranes, as well as the dredging of the maneuvering area and the berthing area of the port terminal.
On the social front, infrastructure projects in education, health, and sports stand out, which have directly benefited more than 20,000 citizens in the region, thanks to the transfer of over S/ 68.5 million to the Paita Social Fund, derived from 3% of the port terminal's revenues.
Finally, the MTC highlights the strategic importance of the Paita Port Terminal for the competitiveness of Peruvian foreign trade and reaffirmed the sector's commitment, through the National Port Authority, to continue promoting the development of modern, efficient port infrastructure aligned with the country's economic growth needs.
