APM Terminals Callao

APM Terminals Callao operates the North Multipurpose Terminal at the Port of Callao, the largest port in Peru and on the Pacific coast of South America. Since the first commercial unloading on 1 July 2011, we have worked continuously to support and enhance international maritime trade. The terminal operates 365 days a year.

The North Terminal is a versatile maritime facility, equiped to handle containerised cargo, break bulk, solid bulk, RoRo and general cargo. APM Terminals Callao holds approximately 40% of the national market share in containerized cargo and 70% in general cargo (excluding minerals). The terminal also features facilities for cruise ships and passenger services.
