DP World‘s terminal at the Port of Callao has reported record volumes, including a 19 per cent increase in container throughput and a sharp rise in agricultural exports.
Since the expansion was inaugurated in June 2024, the terminal’s operational capacity has grown by 80 per cent, handling 1.96 million TEUs that year.
The South Pier now exceeds one kilometre in length, with annual capacity approaching 3 million TEUs. It can berth three ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs) simultaneously, enabling greater efficiency and throughput.

Carlos Merino, CEO of DP World in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, said: “This expansion transformed our ability to connect Peru to the world. It’s not just about moving more containers – it’s about building long-term resilience in our supply chains, attracting next-generation investments, and making Peruvian trade more agile and globally competitive.”
DP World has invested over $3 billion in Callao infrastructure since 2010.
DP World Callao is the first port terminal to be licensed under the Peru Brand, recognising its 15-year contribution to national exports and economic development.
The company plans to continue investing in infrastructure and sustainable logistics.
In March, DP World signed an eight-year agreement with Maersk to enhance marine services at its port in Santos, Brazil. The agreement includes the launch of new long-term services by Maersk and a commitment to maintain a minimum level of service throughout the contract period.
