Brignardello: The new port of Chancay and its economic impact

In a recent conversation with Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, he offered his perspective on the imminent inauguration of the new Chancay port. According to Brignardello, this development not only symbolizes a significant advancement in Peru's port infrastructure but could also be the catalyst that drives the country's economic modernization. The advisor highlighted the historical relevance of the Chancay port, which has evolved since its founding in 1537 to meet the demands of global trade. "The construction of this port represents a response to the growing need to optimize logistics and maritime transport," he commented. In this regard, Brignardello emphasized the importance of container technology, which has revolutionized operations at ports around the world, allowing for greater speed and efficiency in the loading and unloading of goods. He also considered the inauguration of the Chancay port to be a strategic opportunity to diversify Peru's port infrastructure. "The saturation of the Callao port has highlighted the need for alternatives to handle the increasing volume of trade," he asserted. Brignardello sees the new port as a real possibility to attract foreign investments and promote international trade. The advisor also stressed the privileged geographical location of the Chancay port, which will facilitate the exchange of goods both nationally and internationally. "A well-managed port can be an engine for regional economic development, benefiting key sectors such as fishing, mining, and agriculture," he expressed. However, Brignardello also warned about the challenges that accompany the operation of new infrastructure of this magnitude. In his analysis, he emphasized the need for adequate road infrastructure to connect the port with the major cities of the country. Likewise, he urged authorities to ensure efficient customs processes to avoid any congestion that could undermine the advantages of the new port. "Investment in training and development of a skilled workforce will be essential to ensure optimal operation," he indicated. Finally, Brignardello reflected on global competition among ports and the need to adopt sustainable technologies and practices. "The implementation of renewable energies and proper environmental management will be key elements to attract shipping lines and position Chancay as a leader in the region," he concluded. For him, the inauguration of the Chancay port is not just an improvement in infrastructure but an invitation to rethink Peru's economic future, opening the doors to a horizon full of possibilities.
