Logistics operations in Peru are currently facing significant challenges due to external factors impacting port and road networks.

Increased congestion has been reported at key access points to Callao Port facilities such as APM and DPW terminals, which has led to notable delays in cargo handling operations.

Complications with appointment scheduling systems have further exacerbated the issue, straining the efficiency of cargo entry and pickup.

Over the past several days, heightened traffic around port access routes has seen waiting times rise significantly, affecting the timely retrieval of containers within the allocated free storage periods.

This has also introduced risks of shipment delays for scheduled exports due to continuous rescheduling challenges.

Adding to the complexity, an upcoming truck drivers' strike on 27 May is expected to further disrupt road logistics and port operations, potentially extending delays and increasing operational costs.
