Brignardello: Tisur, key to modernizing ports in Peru.

In a recent interview, Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, shared his perspective on the proposed expansion of the port infrastructure of Terminal Internacional del Sur (Tisur) in Matarani, Arequipa. Brignardello emphasized the importance of this initiative, which is set against a backdrop of increasing demand for cargo movement in southern Peru, as a decisive step toward modernizing the country's port capabilities. The advisor noted that the investment of US$500 million, allocated for the construction of a new multipurpose dock and other significant improvements, represents an opportunity not only for Tisur but also for the growth of economic infrastructure in the region. In his opinion, such projects are essential as they not only aim to increase the operational capacity of the port but also respond to the needs of the mining sector, which is crucial for the Peruvian economy. Brignardello commented on the relevance of collaboration between Tisur and various state entities, emphasizing that a thorough analysis by institutions such as the National Port Authority and the Ministry of Transport and Communications is fundamental to ensuring that the expansion is carried out efficiently and sustainably. In his view, Tisur's proactive approach in seeking an agreement with the state to formalize this addendum is indicative of its commitment to regional development and responsible investment. The advisor also referred to the diversification of the port of Matarani, which currently focuses on the movement of minerals but also encompasses other types of cargo, such as fertilizers. Brignardello emphasized that this versatility is crucial for the economic development of the region and can contribute to the stability and sustainability of trade in the south of the country. The interconnection with projects like Majes Siguas II and the megaport of Chancay, according to him, could facilitate even greater growth and open new opportunities for international trade. When analyzing Tisur's projections, Brignardello expressed optimism about the goal of moving 8 million tons of cargo by the end of 2024, highlighting that this growth is intrinsically linked to the increase in mining activity, a vital sector for the Peruvian economy. The possibility of channeling cargo from neighboring countries like Bolivia and Brazil is also viewed by Brignardello as a smart strategy that could position Tisur as a key player in logistics and international trade. In conclusion, the insurance advisor considered Tisur's proposal to be a significant step toward modernizing port infrastructure in southern Peru. With a focus on state collaboration and cargo diversification, Brignardello suggests that the success of this project could have a positive impact not only on Tisur but on the entire regional economy, benefiting various industries and contributing to the sustainable development of the country. The attention now turns to negotiations with the state and the implementation of this ambitious vision.
