The value of import and export cargo shipped on the shipping route between Shanghai in China and Chancay Port in Peru has reached 5.57 billion yuan (about 790 million U.S. dollars), Shanghai Customs said on Friday.
The route has handled 205,000 tonnes of goods since its launch a year ago.
The shipping route became fully operational when the first container vessel from Chancay arrived at Shanghai's Yangshan Port on Dec. 18, 2024, following the official opening of Chancay Port the month before.
The route cuts sea transit times between China and Peru from 35 to 40 days to just 23 days, reducing logistics costs by more than 20 percent. Driven by the route, Shanghai's imports and exports with Peru registered a 40.3 percent year-on-year increase in the first 11 months of 2025.
Perishable goods such as avocados and blueberries are transported via a green channel established at Shanghai's Yangshan Customs, which ensures expedited clearance.
The route has also facilitated automotive exports.
Chancay Port, a deep-water hub and South America's first smart green port, is a flagship Belt and Road cooperation project between China and Peru.
