CTAA: Port of Melbourne hit by congestion following DP World IT issues
NewsThe Port of Melbourne is grappling with landside congestion following IT issues at DP World’s West Swanson Terminal this week.
Work starts in Callao
A foundation stone laying ceremony took place at the end of last month to mark the official start of construction of DP World’s new container terminal at the Peruvian port of Callao.
DP World and its Peruvian partner Unimar were awarded a 30-year concession to build and operate the new terminal in the Muelle Sur area of Callao, near Peru’s capital, Lima, in June 2006. The first phase of the project, which is scheduled to be operational in the second half of 2009, will see around US$210M invested in two berths with an overall quay length of 660m and 22 hectares of yard area, with an annual capacity of 800,000 TEU. Further development will be phased in line with demand, with total capacity projected to reach around 1.3M TEU/year.
