PROINVERSIÓN: Iquitos and Saramiriza Ports enter the promotion phase ahead of the 2026 tender

Lima, November 25, 2025.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) has officially included the project “New Port Terminals of Loreto (Saramiriza and Iquitos)” in the private investment promotion process. The project will be developed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and is expected to benefit 1 million users in Maynas and Datem del Marañón by boosting productive and commercial activities in the region.

The decision was made following the approval of the Formulation Phase Evaluation Report, a key stage that validates the project’s technical robustness, sustainability, and value contribution for both the public and private sectors.

With this inclusion, PROINVERSIÓN will begin the Structuring Phase, during which the economic-financial, legal, socio-environmental, land, and risk management aspects will be defined, along with the preparation of the concession agreement, enabling its future award through an international public tender, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project, which will be granted under a 30-year concession with an estimated investment of US$ 205 million, includes the construction and operation of the Iquitos Port Terminal and the Saramiriza Port Terminal, located in the provinces of Maynas and Datem del Marañón.

The new infrastructure will include storage areas, cargo docks, operational zones, and specialized equipment capable of handling long-range vessels. Additionally, an efficient operational structure will be implemented, along with the hiring and training of specialized personnel, and the adoption of modern port management standards aimed at improving service quality and efficiency.

The commissioning of both ports will help reduce logistical costs and time, while also strengthening the country’s economic integration with Brazil and the Atlantic basin, thereby boosting commercial and productive development in the Loreto region.
