The Port of Chancay is a shipping terminal located in Chancay, Peru. It was developed by Cosco Shipping Ports Chancay Perú S.A., a corporation made up by Chinese state-owned shipping and logistics company COSCO Shipping Ports in association with the Peruvian company Volcan. The port is part of the Belt and Road Initiative; and according to Peruvian law, it is considered a private port for public use, granting the operator exclusivity to provide port services.
The port is located approximately 60 kilometers north of Lima. A total of 3.5 billion US dollars (3.3 billion euros) will be invested in the construction of the port and its facility. Concerns have been raised about the potential dual use of the port.
The opening of the port of Chancay decongests the port of El Callao, but it has been noted that it does not help the issue of Peruvian port capacity being underdeveloped in the north and south of the country.
