Peru's ProInversión has launched a tender process to develop a logistics platform and truck parking & service center at the Callao port through a PPP project.

At the same time Proinversion has announced plans to launch a tender process to hire transaction advisor to define and structure the project.

The project will be developed on the available areas owned by the Peruvian Navy (MGP), which consist of 3 separate lots with a total of 33.5 ha.

The project includes the development of a logistics platform and truck parking & service center:

• The logistics activities area will provide the following services, among others: storage, packing, repacking, sealing, packaging, labeling, weighing, quality control, and redistribution.
• The truck parking & service center will be a parking area for freight transport vehicles, and it will have an schedule system in order to manage the entrance and exit of vehicles to and from the terminals of the Callao port and the upcoming logistics activities area.

The project will be developed on a design, build, finance, operation and maintenance (DBFOM) basis.

The project is scheduled to be awarded in Q3 2015.
