Port connection

Operational coordination at the Port of Matarani to ensure continuous foreign trade flows: scheduling, documentation, and port windows.

 

Storage

More than 6,000 m² of support capacity in southern Peru, enabling cargo consolidation and synchronization with rail and port operations.

 

Hydrocarbons & Petrochemicals

Container Transportation

We incorporate rail container transport as an efficient alternative for freight movement, supported by operational planning, railway safety, and logistics expertise.

 

Operational Network

Our network begins at Mollendo Station and connects directly to the Port of Matarani (Arequipa), then extends to the strategic destinations of Puno and Cusco. This operation is supported by the Pillones Transfer Center, a key infrastructure ensuring continuity of the rail logistics flow.
