PROINVERSIÓN: UNSOLICITED PROPOSALS PRESENTED TO MODERNIZE THE PORT OF CHIMBOTE
Chimbote, February 17, 2023.- In a technical visit to the department of Ancash, the executive director of PROINVERSIÓN, José Salardi, announced that a new unsolicited proposal has been presented to modernize the Chimbote port terminal.
This project, which requires an investment of close to US$ 180 million, will modernize the terminal to move export products such as fishmeal, minerals and agro-industrial production.
"It is an important investment that should be completed in the next few years and it will be the ninth public port infrastructure that PROINVERSIÓN will grant in concession," said the entity's executive director, José Salardi.
The vice-governor of Ancash, Angelly Epifanía, said that her region will support the efforts to make the long-awaited modernization of the Port of Chimbote a reality.
During the visit to Ancash, the head of PROINVERSIÓN and line managers met with the mayors of the municipalities of Santa, Luis Gamarra, and Nuevo Chimbote, Walter Soto, to inform about the investment mechanisms of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), Projects in Assets and Works for Taxes. The executive director highlighted the progress made by both municipalities in the prioritization of their projects and committed PROINVERSIÓN's technical support to move forward with their proposals.
On the other hand, the technical team of the entity took advantage of the visit to tour the site where the new EsSalud hospital in Chimbote will be built, which is expected to be awarded in the first half of this year. They also toured the construction project of the new Municipal Theater of Chimbote, which is being executed through Works for Taxes, with an investment of S/ 19.5 million.
