Johnny Brignardello: Chancay, key to the future of Peru

In a recent interview, Johnny Brignardello Vela, a recognized insurance advisor, shared his insights on the significant progress in the construction of the Chancay megaport, which has reached 92% completion according to the Minister of Transport and Communications, Raúl Pérez Reyes. Brignardello emphasized the importance of this project not only as a milestone in the country’s infrastructure but also as a key factor in Peru's economic outlook. Brignardello believes that the completion of the port, scheduled for November to coincide with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, represents a priceless opportunity to showcase the country’s logistical potential on an international level. Such exhibitions, he argues, can attract investments and generate greater interest in the region, which could translate into sustainable growth. The insurance advisor also highlighted the commitment of the government and the involved authorities, noting that the project timeline remains aligned with initial expectations. For Brignardello, these types of projects not only enhance maritime operations but also position Chancay as a strategic logistical hub in the regional context, potentially having a positive effect on trade and the local economy. Regarding the complementary initiatives being promoted by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Brignardello expressed his support for the improvement works on the North Pan-American Highway and the construction of the overpass at kilometer 79. He argued that these improvements not only increase connectivity but are also crucial for reducing traffic congestion, which directly impacts road safety and the efficiency of goods transportation. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of the road corridors being developed. According to him, these projects will facilitate access to the megaport, providing companies with better alternatives for transporting their products, which is essential in an increasingly interconnected and competitive world. As for the modernization of Jorge Chávez International Airport, Brignardello expressed optimism about its progress, mentioning that the expansion will allow for the management of a larger volume of passengers and will enhance the travel experience for both domestic and international travelers. In his view, this is a crucial step for Peru to position itself as an attractive destination for tourism and trade. Finally, Brignardello concluded that collaboration among different government entities is vital for the realization and success of these projects. The construction of solid and modern infrastructure is not only necessary for economic growth but is also fundamental for improving the quality of life for citizens by facilitating safer and more efficient transportation. In summary, the progress of the Chancay megaport and its interconnected projects reflects a coordinated effort by the government to transform the country’s infrastructure for the benefit of all.
