The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), in coordination with the concessionaire DP World Callao, is promoting new investments to expand the infrastructure and equipment of the Container Terminal – South Pier of Callao, with the aim of increasing its operational capacity and strengthening the efficiency of the country's logistics chain.
To this end, the Vice Minister of Transport, Gabriela Carrasco Carrasco, together with the Director of the General Directorate of Transport Programs and Projects (DGPPT), Gabriela Lara, and the Director of Policies of the MTC, Carolina Lenkey, made a working visit to the terminal, where they held a technical meeting with representatives of DP World Callao to review the main investments and initiatives linked to the growth of this port infrastructure.
One of the main topics discussed was the proposal for Addendum No. 4, presented by DP World Callao, which contemplates investments of approximately USD 1.47 billion, including IGV (VAT), destined to expand the terminal's infrastructure and equipment, implement the Callao Antepuerto (foreport), and improve its access roads.
The proposal is currently under joint evaluation and requires coordination among the competent entities, including the National Port Authority (APN), the General Directorate of Transport Infrastructure (DGISTR), Provías, and the Provincial Municipality of Callao, in order to accompany the growth of port capacity with improvements in access and cargo transport flow.
By the end of 2025, the South Pier moved a record 2.079 million TEUs, equivalent to approximately 62.5% of the containers moved in Callao. Currently, after the expansion of the Bicentennial Pier, the terminal has an installed capacity of up to 2.7 million TEUs annually.
Likewise, during the visit, the implementation of the Callao–Paita Maritime Humanitarian Corridor was reviewed, which will allow essential aid to be transported to the north of the country in the event of road interruptions, and the Shore Power Connection System work at Piers 2 and 3 was verified, which has an investment of USD 3.69 million, and which shows 95% physical progress with completion scheduled for October 2026.
