The Project

The Chancay Port Terminal will be a multipurpose port that will handle containerized cargo, general cargo, non-mineral bulk cargo, liquid cargo and rolling cargo. It is made up of three major components:

1 Port Operational Zone

It is the one where the port activities themselves are carried out. It includes the docks, breakwaters, maritime entry channels, storage areas for bulk and rolling cargo containers, maintenance areas and workshops. The Port Operational Zone is in the northwestern part of the project area and comprises the Punta Chancay massif, the surrounding maritime area, the bay that extends to the east, and the maritime zone that extends south of Punta Chancay.

2 Entrance Complex

Includes the vehicular foreport, entrance gates to the terminal, customs inspection area, administrative offices, and logistics and support services areas. It is located to the east of the Operational Zone, at approximately 2 km.

3 Underground Viaduct Tunnel

Connects the Entrance Complex with the Port Operational Zone, has a length of 1.8 km and constitutes a segregated and exclusive road corridor for cargo traffic related to the port operation. It has 3 vehicular lanes, two conveyor belts for solid bulks and multiproduct pipes for liquid bulks.

Project components

The project will be carried out in stages. The first stage will be developed in an area of 141 hectares and includes the construction of an access road interchange from the Pan-American highway to the vehicular foreport, the connection tunnel with the Port Operational Zone and the Entrance Complex. Likewise, in the Operational Zone the maritime approach and maneuvering channels for ships, the shelter breakwater south of Punta Chancay and the first 4 berths will be built in accordance with the following:
Berths 1 and 2 are part of the Bulk, General Cargo and Rolling Terminal. Berth 1 is a multipurpose dock that will be destined to primarily meet the demand for solid and liquid bulk and rolling cargo. Berth 2 is a dock designed to primarily meet the demand for general cargo and non-containerized loose cargo ships. This berth will also serve Ro / Ro type ships for rolling cargo. Both berths will have the loading and unloading equipment, as well as the respective general and rolling cargo storage platforms.
Berths 3 and 4 are part of the Container Terminal, they will be specialized docks to serve container ships, they will have modern high-tech equipment for loading, unloading and transfer of containers, storage yards, administrative areas, service areas and the workshops that are required for the efficient operation of the terminal.
