APM Terminals invests in Peruvian terminal infrastructure

APM Terminals Callao, operator of the largest multipurpose terminal in Peru, has received a new electric panamax ship-to-shore crane and two e-rubber tyred gantry (RTG) cranes.

Maersk-owned port operator has made a US$25 million investment to enhance the terminal’s container operations.

The terminal currently has five super post panamax cranes, two panamax cranes, and 15 eRTGs in operation.

With container volumes in an upward trend, Javier Vidal, head of operations at APM Terminals Callao, said that more equipment is expected to further boost the terminal’s handling capabilities.

“In future stages of our concession master plan, we have planned an increase in our fleet of terminal equipment and infrastructure to adequately meet the future demand of Peruvian foreign trade,” he said.

In May 2011, APM Terminals Callao signed a 30-year concession contract with the Peruvian State to be the operator of the Multipurpose North Terminal of the Port of Callao. This was followed in November 2022, by an Addendum to the Concession Contract, committing to an investment of more than US$1.2 billion. To date, more than US$500 million has already been invested, according to APM Terminals.

APM Terminals Callao also has plans to add two free-flow grain loaders and build a grain handling system with 12 silos and a capacity of 60,000 tons. Further, there are plans to acquire three additional ship-to-shore cranes, nine eRTGs and 24 additional terminal tractors, as well as general cargo equipment.

In the final stage of the expansion, the terminal will incorporate an additional four ship-to-shore cranes, 12 eRTGs and 24 terminal tractors, noted the port operator.
