The
Place
Callao Port, in the easternmost part of
Lima, is considered one of the most impor-
tant ones in Peru and the largest in South
America’s Pacific coast.
APM Terminal hired the FCC and JJC con-
sortium to execute the project for the en-
largement of the port. The north pier had a
capacity for 500,000 containers which will
be enlarged to accommodate 1.000.000
containers per year. Thanks to this project,
it was possible to double the number of
operations at the port.
Enlargement of one of the largest
ports in the Pacific.

The project contemplates the construction
of Phases I and II of the port: the remode-
lling of Pier 11 (for grains) and the north part
of Pier 5, which will enable the arrival of lar-
ger ships: Gran Post Panamax.
Pier 5 and another 11 existing piers plus 18
buildings within the port were demolished.
Pier 11 and Pier 5 are 280 and 560 metres
long, respectively. Pier 5 is used for hand-
ling containers and mineral loads while Pier
11 provides port services for food imports
and features cement silos for storage.
