The North Pier concession Callao competition subtracted to Chilean ports on the movement of containerized cargo, according to the business association of the neighboring country.
The award of the North Pier of Callao to APM Terminals, considered the world's second largest port, raised fears of the House Maritime and Port Authority of Chile, who acknowledged that with this award our country could move to that nation in the movement of containerized cargo in the not too long.
This was stated the president of that chamber, Rodolfo Garcia, the newspaper El Financiero, Chile, noting that with this impending situation of disadvantage, the government of his country should improve its procedures for granting of port portfolio.
Garcia noted that granting the North Pier, seen in conjunction with the South Pier, will receive Callao large Post-Panamax container ships, 370 meters long and capable of carrying containers 8.000.
The situation contrasts with that of the main ports of Chile, Valparaiso and San Antonio, where they can enter smaller vessels, including container from 4.500 to 6.000.
"Our ports also have to prepare to receive ships. If we are not ready, we run the risk of large vessels from reaching the Callao and then send smaller ships (to Chile)" he said.
ports of Peru moved in 2010 to 1.5 million containers a whole, for the most part by the Callao, and of Chile mobilized 2.3 million, largely because of Valparaiso and San Antonio.
In this regard, he noted that, technically, the projects that have been developed to upgrade the latter two ports, via grant, and for which envelopes to be opened later this month, not efficient, whereupon he insisted: "We will be less competitive than the Peruvian ports."
This adds, referring to the extension is made Panama Canal, which allow the passage of ships will have even greater capacity.
Reviews
By 2014, thanks to concessions in the port of Callao, Peru will surpass container moving to Chilean ports. Only with the South Pier, more than 500 ships that used to go to other countries now entering the Callao.

If we continue to grow and develop the waterfront as expected, let's move on to move more cargo in containers not only Chile but also loose. By 2014 we hope to move 3 million TEUs and 7 to 8 million tons of bulk cargo.
