The new Peruvian megaport of Chancay entered the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) by the World Bank and S&P Global for the first time, positioning itself among the most efficient terminals globally in its first year of operations.
Specifically, the port facility, linked to the Chinese state-owned Cosco Shipping Ports, reached 73rd place in the CPPI 2025, surpassing 330 other maritime stations.
The report indicates that Chancay obtained a CPPI score of 40.6, a figure higher than the average for ports in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and that of the west coast of South America.
Likewise, the report indicated that 81% of the total time vessels spent at the Chancay port facility corresponded to the effective time at the berth.
However, it is worth mentioning that the evaluation of the Chancay Multipurpose Port Terminal was based on a sample of 33 container ship calls, a limited number compared to other stations in the region.
Of the more than 400 terminals evaluated in the CPPI 2025, only 13 LAC ports managed to enter the global top 100, a list led in the region by the Port of Posorja, Ecuador, in 20th place overall.
In this scenario, Chancay ranked ninth regionally. With this result, it was behind facilities such as Coronel in Chile (26); Itapoá in Brazil (39); Cartagena in Colombia (42); the also Peruvian Paita (44) and Callao (47); and the Mexican Ensenada (62) and Altamira (70).
However, within the same top 100 ranking, Chancay managed to surpass the LAC terminals of Valparaíso in Chile (80) and Veracruz in Mexico (97).
Despite the above, Cosco Shipping Ports Chancay Peru S.A. (CSP Chancay Terminal), the company responsible for the port, closed the annual period corresponding to 2025 with a loss of USD 10,789,000.
The Peruvian port facility with Chinese capital - which was inaugurated in November 2024 and began full operations in the first half of 2025 - obtained revenues of USD 57,087,000 at the end of last year, a number greater than the USD 1,678,000 in 2024.
It is worth mentioning that Chancay did not achieve its goal of exceeding 350 thousand TEU transferred in 2025, after closing the annual period with 336.2 thousand 20-foot units. In its first full year of operations, the Peruvian terminal was approximately 13,800 TEU short.
