The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) announced on March 31 that, as of January 2026, concessioned port terminals in Peru have reached a cumulative investment of $2.374 billion out of a total commitment of $3.846 billion, with significant contributions from the Matarani Port Terminal.
This level of investment represents approximately 61.73 percent completion and is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national port infrastructure under the leadership of the National Port Authority. The ministry said these investments follow a scheduled plan for carrying out works and improvements at various ports across the country.
According to the MTC, more than $3 million has been invested in projects at Callao’s North Multipurpose Terminal, while additional investments exceeding $1.8 million have been made at Paita Port Terminal, demonstrating continued progress in modernizing Peru’s ports.
The National Port System—which includes both concessioned and public terminals—has recorded important advances in operational capacity, logistics, and connectivity. These improvements are intended to optimize cargo flow, reduce costs and timescales, and position Peru as a strategic hub within the region.
The ministry said these actions show notable progress that has boosted competitiveness within Peru’s port system. It also reaffirmed its commitment to closely monitor port investments to ensure they are carried out according to technical criteria and quality standards.
