The Peruvian Private Investment Promotion Agency (Proinversión) estimated that the USD 700 million investments to be implemented in the Port of Matarani following the approval of the addendum to the concession contract with Tisur will cause a 50% growth in cargo handling capacity, in addition to extra contributions to the State of USD 356 million.
The text of the addendum, promoted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) and the National Port Authority (APN), with the technical support of the Agency, was approved last Saturday through Supreme Decree No. 015-2025-MTC, which orders its publication for 15 business days on the APN website.
The advancement of investments will allow for a 50% increase in cargo handling and a 22% increase in mineral storage capacity, thanks to the incorporation of new cranes and modern infrastructure. The construction of a new multipurpose berth with a breakwater, a 40,000 metric ton warehouse, a 4.6-hectare container yard, and the modernization of the wharf are planned.
During the construction phase, 1,800 direct jobs will be created, promoting economic dynamism in its area of influence. Likewise, the project will foster investments in the Southern Macro Region of up to USD 11 billion, consolidating the port as an engine of regional development.
The concession, managed by Terminal Internacional del Sur (Tisur) of the Tramarsa Group, does not require public funding and reaffirms the Port of Matarani as a key logistics hub in the south of the country.
