DP World marks a milestone in Callao port

DP World is celebrating two decades of operations at the Port of Callao in Peru, reflecting a sustained period of investment that has transformed the terminal into one of South America’s leading container gateways and established it as the country’s primary trade hub, handling approximately 60 percent of Peru’s containerised cargo. Since commencing operations in 2006, DP World has invested approximately US$ 1 billion in port infrastructure, equipment modernisation and advanced technology, handling more than 22 million TEUs in total over the period. In 2025, the terminal surpassed 2 million TEUs for the first time in a single year, becoming the first terminal on South America’s west coast to reach that milestone and a volume that a decade earlier represented the combined annual throughput of all ports in Peru. Between January and May 2026, DP World Callao handled 48 percent of Peru’s exports and 61% of its imports, connecting key agricultural export industries including grapes, avocados and pomegranates with markets across Europe, North America and Asia. A USD 400 million expansion completed in 2024, including the inauguration of the Bicentennial Pier,
