Chancay Port, located about 78 km north of Lima, the Peruvian capital, is poised to establish a new land-sea transport corridor between Latin America and Asia. Its superior geographical position is complemented by state-of-the-art efficiency, thanks to the intelligent technologies provided by China for this collaborative deep-water port.

Technologies include 5G communication networks, drones for security tasks, as well as artificial intelligence for efficient management between yard and dock, security and productivity of port management. Developed and produced by the Yutopilot under the SAIC Motor, a major Chinese carmaker based in Shanghai, dozens of driverless container trucks shuttling around the port have improved operational efficiency and reduced the cost of logistics. The trucks, guided by the power of cloud computing, can optimize their routes to ensure the most efficient transportation of goods. As stated by Yutopilot, these vehicles employ self-developed deep learning models that seamlessly integrate with real-time data, enabling them to swiftly adapt to dynamic targets and navigate complex traffic conditions with ease.

The workers at the port, both Peruvian and Chinese, are working with the Terminal Operating System (TOS), which is the core of the overall port dispatch, according to the COSCO Shipping Ports based in Shanghai. Through real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis, the TOS computer management system integrates the data of each subsystem to optimize the scheduling and operation of containers, ensuring the efficient and orderly running of the entire port.

COSCO Shipping Ports has been providing regular training to local managers, operators and engineers at Chancay Port on smart equipment, system operations and data analysis, helping them master the intelligent port systems, the company noted.

With a total length of 1,500 meters and four berths, Chancay Port can handle ships with a capacity of 18,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), and is projected to process 1 million TEUs annually in the near future, with the capacity to scale up to 1.5 million TEUs in the long run. The first container ship departing from Chancay is fast approaching Shanghai, carrying products including blueberries, grapes and avocados.
