DP World Expands Posorja FTZ Plans as Callao Targets 4 Million TEUs

FTZ News: DP World wants to more than double capacity at its Callao terminal in Peru, from a little over 2 million TEUs today to more than 4 million. The company has filed an investment proposal with Peruvian authorities that would also extend the concession. It expects a decision in 2027.

Callao handled a record monthly volume above 200,000 TEUs recently and is on track for about 2.2 million this year. In Ecuador, the Posorja terminal finished expanding its berth to 800 meters. Once the last crane is working, capacity should reach 1.3 million to 1.4 million TEUs. The terminal is expected to top 1 million TEUs in 2026, its best year since it opened in 2019.

DP World also is building a free-trade zone next to Posorja. Road congestion remains a constraint at both ports.
