Authorities in Peru have declared a state of emergency in Lima and the neighbouring city of Callao, which commenced at midnight on Tuesday, 21 October.

The measure is set to last for 30 days and follows recent anti-government protests in the region.

The decree applies specifically to the capital, Lima, and to Callao, which is a key port city. The stated objective of the measure is to address ongoing issues of violence and extortion in the affected areas.

Kuehne+Nagel reports that the situation has had a significant impact on the port of Callao.

Road blockades in and out of the port have been reported, affecting movement and logistics operations linked to this critical transport hub.
