Peru’s Chinese-built mega port to begin moving two container ships a week in November

LIMA (Reuters) – Peru’s massive Chancay port will begin shipping two container ships a week late next month following the port’s inauguration in mid-November, an executive for the port’s operator, China’s Cosco Shipping, said on Friday.

Initially, the port will cover a direct route to Shanghai and then, depending on exporter demand, it may go to other points in Asia, said Carlos Tejada, general manager of Cosco’s subsidiary Cosco Shipping Chancay Peru.
