Pialze Oriente S.A.C., a company with Peruvian capital and a member of the National Society of Industries (SNI), announced that it obtained temporary technical viability from the National Port Authority (APN) to develop the Pialze Oriente Port Terminal (TPPO) in Loreto.
This project seeks to turn Iquitos into a new articulation point between the Brazilian Amazon and Peruvian Pacific ports.
The initiative's area of influence includes important markets for grain, soy, animal protein, and agro-industrial inputs, which opens up the possibility of positioning the area as a strategic hub for cargo movement and commercial integration between Peru and Brazil.
The proposal is not merely a projection. This year, a pilot operation moved 2,000 tons of soybean meal from the Brazilian state of Roraima to Peru via the Manaus–Iquitos axis, demonstrating the possibility of moving Brazilian cargo to Peruvian territory using the Amazonian river system. In the opposite direction, Peruvian products such as phosphates already have Brazil as a destination market.
The TPPO plans to leverage these existing flows to develop a bidirectional corridor with Brazilian cargo heading to the Pacific and Peruvian goods heading to the interior of Brazil. The terminal is projected to cover 50 titled hectares, downstream of Sinchicuy, with access to the Amazonian river system and a natural depth of approximately 9 meters at low tide. Its location also allows for projected connections to Ecuador via the Napo River.
The project proposes an integrated port, logistics, and naval infrastructure, as it combines cargo reception, storage, and transfer services with naval infrastructure. It also has a shipyard and dry dock license, allowing for the integration of port services, maintenance, and vessel attention at a single node.
The TPPO seeks to incorporate Loreto into larger-scale logistics corridors and generate a new connection route between certain cargo flows from the Brazilian Amazon and Asian markets, using Peruvian Pacific ports as an exit platform. This alternative would complement the traditional routes channeled through the Atlantic Ocean.
