Callao for DPW…
As briefly reported in last month’s WorldCargo News (p11), a consortium of DP World and Uniport of Bilbao, Spain has been granted a 30 year concession to develop and operate a new container terminal in the southern zone of the Port of Callao, Peru. The concession has been awarded by Proinversion, the state agency that promotes private investment. DP World will own 70% of the new company through P&O, with the balance held by Uniport via a local subsidiary, Unimar.
The new facility will initially be constructed along 660m of quay, equipped with four cranes, and 22 hectares of CY.

Total capacity is projected to reach 1.35M TEU.
