The port is located approximately 60 kilometers nor of Lima. It is expected to cost $1.3 billion USD. The route betweeen China and the port will be reduced to 10 days.[2]
Offering a deep water port, Chancay will be able to handle container ships that can’t dock elsewhere in South America.[3]
Peruvian mining company Volcan will own a 40% share of the company and COSCO Shipping will hold the remaining 60%.[4]
The first stage of the port is expected to be finished by the end of 2024.[5]
