DP World invests in Peru
The terminal of UAE-based DP World Callao in Peru, the country's major container port, is investing USD 333.6 million in its facilities to expand the current pier from 650 m to 960 m, increase the storage area to 303,000 hectares and install two new quay gantry cranes.
With this investment, Callao South Pier Terminal will be able to simultaneously handle up to three neopanamax vessels with a capacity to move 14,000 teu. Construction is set to begin in 2022.
DP World has been present in Peru for about 15 years, managing the South Pier in the Port of Callao, which in 2018 handled more than 1.3 million teu, representing 55% of the Port of Callao’s container traffic. (cd)
