Phase 2 of the Chancay Megaport is the project's second investment stage, estimated at an additional US$2.5 billion, projected to start in 2027. It would add more berths, more container storage area, and aims to double the terminal's current capacity as a regional hub toward Asia, Europe, and the United States.
What the 2027 start date depends on
According to Peru's Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), starting this second stage is conditional on the container volumes reached during 2025 and 2026. Before construction itself, a pre-investment stage is planned, including environmental permits and detailed engineering design.
What would change with Phase 2
- More berths and greater simultaneous docking capacity
- Expanded container storage areas
- Goal of doubling the terminal's current operating capacity
- New direct routes to Europe and the United States, in addition to Asia
