Peru's APN and Port of Sines Sign Memorandum for Port Cooperation

Peru's National Port Authority (APN) and the Port of Sines, in Portugal, signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening technical cooperation and boosting the competitiveness of both organizations.

According to the APN, the agreement will enable the exchange of experiences and best practices in strategic areas such as port infrastructure, logistics, innovation, information systems, cybersecurity, data exchange, trade promotion and port planning, which will contribute to strengthening the institutional capacities of the APN and the national port community.

The APN noted that cooperation with the Port of Sines, described as one of the main logistics hubs on the European Atlantic coast, will support the positioning of the Peruvian ports of Callao, Paita, Salaverry and Chancay within international logistics chains, facilitating greater opportunities for Peruvian exports from the agricultural, mining and industrial sectors to the European market.

The APN stated that the signing of this instrument reflects its commitment to the modernization and sustainable development of the National Port System, by promoting international partnerships that generate benefits for port operators, logistics companies, exporters, importers and other stakeholders in Peru's port community.
