PROINVERSIÓN promotes port and road projects valued at more than US$ 850 million

Lima, November 18, 2025- The Government of Peru is advancing the consolidation of a modern and competitive logistics network through a portfolio of port and road Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects valued at over US$ 850 million, aimed at enhancing foreign trade, boosting strategic sectors, and strengthening the country’s territorial integration.

During the “Foreign Trade and Infrastructure” Seminar, organized by COMEX, PROINVERSIÓN’s Executive Director, Luis Del Carpio, presented the main port and road projects incorporated into the portfolio of the Agency attached to the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Along these lines, the head of PROINVERSIÓN highlighted the Chimbote Port Terminal (US$ 354 million), which will benefit nearly 1.2 million residents in the regions of Áncash, La Libertad, Huánuco, and northern Lima. This project will optimize the logistics chain for the horticulture, fishing, and mining sectors, thereby strengthening the export competitiveness of northern Peru.

Additionally, in the Loreto region, the Saramiriza and Iquitos Port Terminals (US$ 181 million) are planned, a key infrastructure initiative to promote river transportation and enhance connectivity in the Amazon region. It is estimated that more than 1 million residents will benefit from these projects, which will drive economic and commercial development in the Amazon region.

In benefit of Ucayali, the modernization of the Pucallpa Port Terminal (US$ 315 million) is being promoted to increase the region’s logistics capacity, with a projected handling of over 800,000 tons of cargo during its first year of operation. This project will reduce logistical costs and strengthen commercial exchange between Lima, Ucayali, and Loreto, benefiting approximately 600,000 residents.

Overall, the port projects in the portfolio are expected to create more than 1,450 direct jobs, contributing to economic recovery and the strengthening of Peru’s strategic infrastructure.

He added that, as part of the modernization of the national port system, PROINVERSIÓN is also promoting the implementation of a Port Community System (PCS), a platform that will integrate information exchange among port operators, streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance the competitiveness of the logistics chain.

He also noted that the new Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework strengthens the role of PROINVERSIÓN and represents a decisive step toward more orderly, predictable, and balanced territorial development. “This regulatory update will accelerate investment promotion and improve the execution of strategic infrastructure projects across the country, such as the Periférico Ring Road, Longitudinal de la Sierra – Section 4, and the Huancayo–Huancavelica Railway, projects that will have a direct impact on logistics connectivity, reducing travel times and strengthening regional integration,” stated the head of the Agency.

ROAD PROJECTS

In parallel, PROINVERSIÓN’s Executive Director also highlighted 22 road maintenance projects that will strengthen regional integration under the PPP mechanism, with an estimated investment of over US$ 5.5 million, benefiting 15 regions. These investments aim to ensure year-round traffic continuity and improve service levels for users.

By macro-regions, the investment distribution is concentrated in:

• Central Region: 10 projects totaling US$ 2,162 million
• Southern Region: 8 projects totaling US$ 2,368 million
• Northern Region: 2 projects totaling US$ 560 million
• Eastern Region: 1 project totaling US$ 390 million
• Lima: 1 project totaling US$ 93 million

Del Carpio stated that the execution of these road corridors will strengthen interregional connectivity, reduce travel times and logistical costs, and promote integration between national and international markets. He added that this is expected to significantly contribute to the revival of local economies and to more efficient and sustainable mobility.

Since its creation in 2002, PROINVERSIÓN has awarded 33 transportation projects totaling over US$ 17 billion, driving a tenfold increase in national exports, which reached US$ 74 billion in 2024.
