The $1.3 billion deep-water port, developed by China's Cosco Shipping, is set to revolutionize regional trade by accommodating ultra-large container vessels and significantly reducing shipping times. When completed, the first phase of the project will reduce the sea shipping time from Peru to China to 23 days and cut logistics costs by at least 20 percent.
