STORYLINE:
A giant Chinese state-owned port that will shorten South American voyages to China and use automated, pilotless cranes and container ships is 98% complete, Peruvian authorities and local company managers said on Tuesday.
Transport Minister Raul Perez-Reyes said journeys could be greatly reduced.
The minister said the port, located on the central Pacific coast, will be inaugurated on 14 November by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Peruvian President Dina Boluarte.
The port, built to withstand 8.5 earthquakes, will shorten by 10 days the current 45-day voyage of goods from South America to China.
The Chancay port will have four berths for ships, 1,500 metres of quays and a 2.7-kilometre breakwater for safe anchoring of vessels.
In the first stage, to be completed in 2024, the aim is to unload 1 million 20-foot containers – equivalent to 6.1 metres long, 2.4 metres wide and 2.59 metres high. The containers will arrive and leave the port through a 1.8 kilometre tunnel.
