Peru: Paita Port Terminal Advances in USD 311 Million Investment Commitment

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

Among the main ongoing works and initiatives are the expansion of reefer racks, the approval of technical dossiers 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, Paita Port Terminal achieved a historic record in 2025, exceeding 3.4 million tons of mobilized cargo, 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 nationally 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), along with the head of the sector, carried out a supervision visit to the terminal, touring strategic areas such as the container zone, scanners, multipurpose docks, pier, and control center.
