COSCO made a huge investment to the international shipping industry!

It is reported that COSCO will build a port on the Pacific coast of Peru which is worth about 12.8 billion.

It is reported that the port will be located in the town of Chancay, which is 60 kilometers (36 miles) north of Lima, the capital of Peru.  The port was owned by Peruvian miner Volcan before.

The new port of Chancay was established many years ago, and it is expected to open in 2019. On the morning of June 1st (local time), Chinalco held the opening ceremony of the Tromoc expansion project in the Presidential Palace of Peru. Peruvian President, Biscala; Peruvian Minister of Energy and Mines, Francisco Italo; Chinese Ambassador to Peru, Jiagui De; and Chinalco Chairman, Ge Honglin were attended.

In the speech, Ambassador Jia Guixi stated that Chinalco’s investment of 1.3 billion U.S. dollars for the phase II expansion of the Tromoc project will directly or indirectly create 9,000 jobs. The annual production value will reach 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. This is Chinese first large-scale investment project in Peru since the inauguration of President Biscala.

At the same time, because a group of experienced workers choose to take annual leave during this period, the terminal uses a lot of inexperienced temporary workers. Work efficiency reduced. Other factors include the fact that importers are rushing to import a large number of spring commodities before 1st January, as importers are concerned about the possibility that Trump may impose an additional 25% tariff on Chinese products.
