DP World opens logistics centre in Peru

Dubai-headquartered port operator DP World has opened a new smart logistics centre in Lurin, Peru, connected by optical fibres to its terminal at the Port of Callao.

The centre is expected to deliver information to the port and customs to allow customers to manage the movement of their cargo through the use of electronic devices and smartphones.

According to Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman and CEO of DP World Group and chairman of Ports, Customs & Free Zone Corporation, the new logistics centre is the first of several ones the operator is planning to open across the country to manage container traffic in Callao through smart technology and monitoring of shipments.
