据Port Strategy报道，来自秘鲁利马的一位高级主管证实，中远海运港口于2019年10月份提交了一份修订后的环境影响研究报告之后，其投资的钱凯港项目工作预计将于2020年4月开始。
Cosco Shipping is developing its $3billion deep-water general cargo and 1million TEU capacity container port at Chancay. Rob Ward explains further. Work on this new port is expected to start by April of next year, a senior executive in Lima confirmed, after Cosco Shipping Ports filed a revised environmental impact study in October.
钱凯港是中远海运在南美洲的第一个控股绿地项目。2019年1月23日，中远海运港口与火山矿业在达沃斯正式签署秘鲁钱凯项目的认购及投资协议。钱凯港位于距离秘鲁首都利马58公里的北部，通往秘鲁经济中心的交通十分便捷。秘鲁约60%经济活动集中在利马及其周边地区。
CSP首席执行官卡洛斯·特哈达（Carlos Tejada）表示：“我们可以预期政府会在2020年2月批准该项目。”中远海运港口计划在2020年4月之前进行钱凯港口的第一阶段建设，该阶段的总投资为1300万美元，水深16米。他补充说，该项目将推动“一带一路”倡议，以促进中国和秘鲁以及南美西海岸其他地区之间的运输联系的改善。
“We can now expect government approval for February 2020, said CSP’s CEO Carlos Tejada.” Cosco Shipping Ports aims to start construction on the US$1.3bn first stage of its Chancay port, which will have 16m depth, by April 2020, he said, adding that the project will boost the Belt and Road initiative to foster improved transportation links between China and Peru plus the rest of West Coast South America.
卡亚俄港是南美西海岸最大的集装箱港口，也是通往秘鲁的主要门户，中远集团已计划发展钱凯港口以“避免卡亚俄港的交通拥堵”，以及“降低成本”并更好地为秘鲁快速增长的水果和蔬菜出口服务。
Various sources in Callao, the biggest port for containers along the West Coast of South America (WCSA) and main gateway to Lima and Peru, told Port Strategy that Cosco is already planning to move deep-sea services there to “avoid congestion at Callao” as well as “to bring down costs” and better serve the fast-growing fruit and vegetable exports from Peru.
一位不愿透露姓名的利马运输代理商表示，中国和秘鲁政府渴望加强两个太平洋国家之间的关系，特别是通过钱凯等基础设施项目。
A manager for Inca Lines, one the biggest NVOCCs in Peru, stated that Chancay will be a massive boost for key Peruvian exports such as avocadoes (Peru is third largest exporter in the world), blueberries, guava, oranges, grapes, potatoes, seafood and fishmeal.
目前，中远海运港口正在对新的环境影响研究进行修改，以包括一条隧道，并且与原始项目相比增加了四个码头。CSP首席执行官Tejada表示，两家公司正在同时推进所有相关许可，并且不会出现延误。他补充说：“我们的目标是将该港口转变为太平洋沿岸枢纽，直接从亚洲运送货物，然后在该地区进行配送。”
“The main reason the Chancay project will be such a benefit to shippers is, I believe, that it will help them to drastically reduce costs for many of our important exports,” he stated, adding, “This is especially the case for fruit exporters from the central regions of Peru, who have to take the long journey north to Paita and it could also become an alternative to Callao.”
中远海运港口有着强大的实力和业务支撑，专业性强，管理效率高，实力非凡。钱凯项目地理位置优越，具备成为物流中心的潜力，未来将有一流的团队、拥有丰富的管理经验，将配备先进的设备和智能的系统。该项目是中秘两国贸易合作框架下的里程碑项目，将有助于在各个方面深化双边关系。
Peru's fruit exports, subdivided into fresh, frozen, canned, and juice, make up over 50% of Peru’s agricultural shipments and they grew by 9.5% during the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2018, according to Deputy Foreign Trade Minister Sayuri Bayona, adding pressure onto existing export corridors.The Inca executive added that imports from Asia, especially machinery and mining equipment, should also receive cost reductions and better transport logistics with the development.
钱凯港是天然深水良港，位于秘鲁首都利马以北58公里处的钱凯湾，地理位置得天独厚。2019年1月23日，中远海运港口与火山矿业在达沃斯正式签署秘鲁钱凯项目的认购及投资协议，并计划在钱凯港口投资打造大型深水集装箱和多功能码头。钱凯港是中远海运在南美洲的第一个控股绿地项目。秘鲁的经济发展潜力较大，钱凯港位于距离秘鲁首都利马58公里的北部，地理位置得天独厚，通往秘鲁经济中心的交通十分便捷。秘鲁约60%经济活动集中在利马及其周边地区。因此，钱凯港靠近利马的地理位置非常具有战略意义。钱凯港属天然深水港，最大水深16米，能够满足大型船舶的挂靠需求。
One Lima based shipping agent, who did not wish to be identified, added that the Chinese and Peruvian governments were keen to bolster relations between the two Pacific countries, especially via infrastructure projects such as Chancay.
“Peru and China are forging ever closer links and Chancay is a perfect example of that,” said the Lima agent. “We also think this will shake up those setting the box handling charges in Callao and it will reduce pollution in the cities of Callao and Lima if fewer trucks have battle through congested roads of Lima to get to Callao. I think Cosco might be able to move some of their services there by 2022.”

He added that Cosco Shipping would probably first drag over to Chancay its Asia to WCSA service, which also includes CMA CGM, Evergreen, OOCL and Pacific International Lines (PIL).
钱凯项目包括多用途码头、集装箱码头及相关的基建设施。建设规划一期建四个泊位，其中两个泊位为多用途泊位；两个为集装箱泊位，年设计总吞吐量为100万标准箱。
It was only in May of this year that Shanghai-based Cosco acquired a 60% stake in the port from Volcan, a Peruvian mining company that exports zinc, lead and silver. Together the two companies now intend to build the four berth US$3bn port facility some 58 km north of Lima, where it will compete with DP World Callao and AP Moeller Callao.
