After the port’s inauguration in mid-November, it will initially cover a direct route to Shanghai and then may ship to other points in the Asian market, depending on demand, said Carlos Tejada, general manager of Hong Kong-based Cosco’s local subsidiary, Cosco Shipping Chancay Peru.

“At the end of November, we will begin the stage known as ‘test conditioning,’ which we expect to run until May. However, during this soft launch phase, we can already handle actual cargo, with two direct vessels per week,” the executive told reporters following a Peruvian-Chinese business forum.
