Peru's Chancay Port, a flagship project under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, has not only enhanced bilateral trade, but also benefited broader South American markets through efficient operations, secured by Chinese expertise that leverages advanced digital technologies to optimize port operation.

At the first smart and green port in South America, driverless trucks and automated cranes work in sync, while big data and AI generate optimal loading plans within three minutes.

"(This system) excels at solving complex tasks by breaking them down and assigning them to peripheral systems. It reduces yard rehandling and onboard reshuffling rates, shortening operations and boosting efficiency," said He Bo, executive deputy general manager of COSCO Shipping Ports Chancay Peru.

Located about 78 kilometers north of the capital Lima, the port officially opened in 2024 and has quickly gained momentum. In the first half of 2025, Chancay Port handled 117,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), achieving stable operations across three main and three feeder routes.

"We have brought China's advanced technologies and equipment to Chancay and introduced numerous innovations that were implemented for the first time in Peru and even South America. Continuous introduction (of technologies) and localized application have secured the high-quality development of Chancay Port," said Wang Lei, general manager of the information development department of COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited.

With a total length of 1,500 meters and four berths, the port is capable of handling ships carrying up to 18,000 TEUs. It is projected to process 1 million TEUs annually, with the capacity to scale up to 1,500,000 TEUs in the long run.

Chinese engineers have not only brought advanced technologies, but also trained over 700 local workers by June.

"Thanks to the daily training and guidance provided by those specialists, we have been able to keep learning and correctly mastered the skills," said Andrea, a staffer of Chancay Port.
