APM Terminals Callao reports 15% import surge

In the first half of the year, APM Terminals Callao in Peru experienced a notable increase in the volumes of a diverse range of products, including wheat, corn, steel coils, and heavy machinery.

Since the beginning of the year, 780 vessels have docked at Callao’s Multipurpose North Terminal, reflecting the terminal’s growing efficiency and capacity to meet rising demand. The 15% increase in vessel calls compared to the same period last year underscores the importance of Peru’s largest port in facilitating international trade.

Thanks to its commitment to continuous improvement, APM Terminals Callao has boosted the speed of its containerized cargo operations by 11%, all while maintaining high standards of quality and safety. This enhanced efficiency enables shipping lines to save sailing time, contributing to cost reductions throughout the logistics chain.

“APM Terminals Callao remains committed to efficiency and to the development of the Callao Multipurpose North Terminal. We will continue to implement technological and operational improvements to further reduce unloading times and increase our capacity to handle higher cargo volumes. This in line with the progress we have made in stage 3A of the Multipurpose North Terminal Modernization Project launched last year. Our goal is to continue to be a leading port in the region, providing high-quality services to our customers,” stated Fernando Fauche, Commercial Director, APM Terminals Callao.

Vessels arriving at APM Terminals Callao’s North Terminal carry a wide array of cargo, showcasing the terminal’s versatility and ability to handle diverse types of goods. These include solid bulk items like wheat and corn, breakbulk materials such as steel and cement, automotive products like cars and heavy machinery, as well as sensitive goods like refrigerated cargo. This capability to manage such a wide variety of cargo highlights the efficiency and adaptability of APM Terminals Callao in meeting the market’s diverse needs.

During the first half of the year, APM Terminals Callao reported a significant rise in the import volumes of wheat and corn, up by approximately 15%, while steel coil imports grew by nearly 20%. The automotive sector, including heavy machinery, saw an increase of around 30% compared to the same period last year.

With the growth in agricultural exports, APM Terminals Callao is well-equipped to handle the increasing seasonal exports of refrigerated goods, thanks to its specialized services and electrical outlets. These advancements further establish the North Pier of the Port of Callao as a strategic hub for agro-exports at the national level.

“We will continue lifting standards of efficiency to remain the key node in global maritime trade,” Fauche concluded.
