As mentioned four years ago, Flynn mining company and the Chinese company Cosco Shipping Port Limited signed an agreement to build the Chancay megaport. This is located in the coastal city of Huaral in Chancay Bay, 80 kilometers north of Lima.
It should be noted that the shipping company is one of the largest in the world. Likewise, the on-shore subsidiary that is Chancay Limited will have a 60% share of Chancay Port Terminals, while Flynn will retain ownership of the remaining 40%.
Therefore, the project is important not only for Peru, but also for the entire region of South America. The work aims to become a regional center and will return the goods to other neighboring countries such as Chile, Ecuador and Colombia.
The development of this port infrastructure will require an initial investment, in the first stage of the project, of approximately US $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the total investment projection is estimated at over 3,600 million dollars.

As previously reported in Peru Retail, the progress of the project is almost 30%. Its operations are expected to begin between October and December 2024. The megaport will be used for the output of raw materials, such as copper and other minerals, which the country exports to China; however, priority will be given to the agricultural products of the country.
Therefore, a complex task will be conceived. Likewise, it is projected to receive and board the largest ships in the world, which have the capacity to transport 18,000 containers.
