Paita Port Terminal advances in USD 311 million investment commitment

Paita Port Terminal, operated by Terminales Portuarios Euroandinos (TPE), continues its modernization process for USD 311 million, of which more than USD 290 million has already been executed.

Among the main works and initiatives underway are the expansion of reefer racks, the approval of technical files for the acquisition of mobile cranes, and the dredging of the maneuvering area and the berthing area. These actions will optimize maritime operations and respond to the sustained growth of port demand.

Thanks to this strengthening process, the Paita Port Terminal reached a historical record in 2025, exceeding 3.4 million tons of cargo mobilized, in addition to registering 414,639 TEUs and the arrival of 669 vessels. Likewise, during the first quarter of 2026, the terminal mobilized 785,433 tons of cargo and 79,622 TEUs, figures that represent a growth of 11.4% and 11.8%, respectively, compared to the same period of the previous year.

Currently, the port ranks first nationwide in the movement of refrigerated containers, driven mainly by agricultural and hydrobiological exports. Products such as grapes, blueberries, avocados, mangoes, and coffee find a platform in Paita to reach international markets, consolidating its strategic position within the national logistics chain.

As part of this monitoring of the terminal's development, the National Port Authority (APN), an entity attached to the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), together with the head of the sector, carried out a supervision visit to the terminal, touring strategic areas such as the container area, scanners, multipurpose docks, breakwater, and control center.
