The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) and DP World Callao S.R.L., Concessionaire of the South Pier Terminal of the Port Terminal of Callao, announce the implementation of the Callao–Paita Maritime Humanitarian Corridor, a logistical alternative that will allow for the rapid and organized transfer of humanitarian aid to Piura in the event of emergencies that affect or interrupt land connectivity.
This initiative will leverage the existing port, logistical, and maritime infrastructure operated by the private company to ensure the transfer of food, medicine, and other essential goods to areas affected by an emergency caused by the El Niño Phenomenon (ENSO).
As part of the action plan, the MTC, in coordination with competent entities, will channel and concentrate donations and humanitarian aid, as well as establish priorities and determine their destination. This will ensure an organized response to any needs that arise.
Once the aid is delivered for mobilization, DP World Callao will articulate the logistics chain, which includes the preparation and consolidation of cargo, its transfer to the Port Terminal of Callao, prioritized port attention, embarkation, and monitoring of the operation until Paita.
Maritime transport will be carried out by the shipping company Hapag-Lloyd on the Callao–Paita route, with prioritized unloading at the Port Terminal of Paita and subsequent continuation to its final destination. Storage activities, terminal use, and transfer carried out by private operators will be assumed by them, at no cost to the State.
The corridor constitutes an alternative solution that will allow for a previously organized humanitarian chain ready to be activated in the event of a road interruption. We must remember that the northern zone of Peru is not immune to these events generated by ENSO.
Finally, DP World S.R.L. is evaluating a second stage to extend this connection to the Port Terminal of Salaverry, in La Libertad, according to the operational viability of the port terminals.
