Port of Chancay: The New Maritime Route Set to Revolutionize Trade Between Peru and Chile

The Port of Chancay strengthens its strategic position with the integration of X-Press Feeders' 'CPX' service, enhancing maritime connectivity between Peru and northern Chile.

The recently inaugurated Port of Chancay in Peru has taken a significant step in consolidating its role as a logistics hub in South America. As of December 2024, X-Press Feeders has launched the ‘Chile-Peru X-Press’ (CPX) service, connecting the ports of Callao, Iquique, Arica, Ilo (monthly frequency), Chancay, and returning to Callao. This itinerary is completed over a two-week cycle, with bi-weekly sailings, utilizing the vessel “LM Ares” with a capacity of 1,341 TEUs.

This development not only strengthens Peru's port infrastructure but also optimizes trade routes along the west coast of South America. Chancay's inclusion in the ‘CPX’ itinerary marks a milestone, underscoring its growing relevance in regional maritime trade. Furthermore, this service complements COSCO SHIPPING Lines' ‘WSA3’, which has been operating weekly in Chancay since November 2024, connecting with Asian markets.

Impact on the Insurance Industry

The expansion of maritime services at the Port of Chancay has direct implications for the insurance industry.
