Chancay Port: A New Gateway Connecting China and South America

Chancay Port

Located on the central coast of Peru, Chancay Port is one of South America’s most important infrastructure projects, in recent years.

Jointly developed by the Peruvian government and Chinese companies, the port aims to become a major trade hub, between the Asia-Pacific and South America.

As a modern deep-water port, Chancay Port provides South America with a new logistical gateway to Asian markets, particularly China.

  • 1. Improving Global Supply Chain Efficiency


As a new node in the global logistics network, Chancay eases pressure on North American and European ports and helps streamline freight movement worldwide.

Its construction helps international enterprises reduce transportation costs, enhance supply chain responsiveness, and provide greater flexibility for global trade.

  • 2. Growth in Bilateral Commodity and Industrial Trade

Peru and its neighbors export large volumes of copper, iron ore, coffee, and fishmeal.

With Chancay Port in operation, these goods can reach China and Asia faster and at lower cost—helping meet the demand from manufacturing and food processing industries.

Chinese electronics, machines, and daily-use goods can now enter South American markets more efficiently via Chancay.

This supports local demand for reliable and cost-effective products.

For Peruvian consumers, this streamlined import model will also accelerate the adoption of technology products in the local market.

  • 3. Promoting Regional Trade Cooperation

Chancay Port symbolizes the extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to Latin America, laying a foundation for deeper economic ties between China and South America. By serving as a logistical bridge, it tightens bilateral trade links, expanding trade volumes and fostering more cross-border investment projects.

1. Logistics and Warehousing Services

The surrounding areas of Chancay Port are poised for rapid growth in logistics and warehousing services, offering more opportunities for goods transshipment and processing in South America.

This will also attract more multinational companies to establish logistics bases near the port.

2. Infrastructure Development

As port trade grows, roads and railways will become key priorities for regional development.

These infrastructures not only support port operations but also improve inland transport efficiency across South America.

Better connectivity will help Peru and nearby countries expand their export capacity.
