PeruRail Cargo designs and operates rail and bimodal solutions for the mining and industrial sectors in southern Peru. Our operations integrate rail infrastructure, controlled road segments, transfer centers, strategic storage, and port coordination, enabling the movement of large volumes with efficiency, safety, and uninterrupted mine‑to‑port continuity.
Mining Solutions
Transporting copper concentrate requires precision, safety, and operational continuity. Our operation moves an average of 9,300 tons per day, integrating mine or plant operations with the Port of Matarani through a robust rail system and a high‑capacity bimodal model.
What this solution delivers
- Continuous mine‑to‑port operations
Stable flow from origin to export, minimizing unproductive time.
- Cargo integrity and safety
Containers and rail platforms designed for minerals, preventing spills and preserving cargo quality.
- Operational traceability
Control at critical points, ongoing monitoring, and protocols aligned with international standards.
- Infrastructure connected to export
Transfer at Pillones → rail transportation → Port of Matarani.
- Ideal for:
- High‑volume minerals
- Operations that prioritize continuity
- Security‑sensitive movements
Bimodal System (Truck + Train)
When rail access does not reach the mine or plant directly, the bimodal system ensures seamless integration of cargo into the rail network.
This model combines road and rail segments within a single logistics operation, with transfers designed to maximize efficiency and safety.
What this solution delivers
- Access to remote areas
Enables connectivity for operations without direct rail access.
- Technical transfer at Pillones
Loading systems, platforms, containers, and specialized maneuvers that ensure operational continuity.
- Higher efficiency with reduced road exposure
The road segment is limited and controlled; the core transport is executed by rail.
- Integrated logistics chain
Truck → Transfer → Train → Matarani, under a single operational model.
- Ideal for:
- High‑altitude mining
- Industries located away from rail lines
- High‑volume cargo on complex routes
Hydrocarbons & Petrochemicals Solutions
We transport fuels and energy‑sector products through high‑safety rail and bimodal operations designed to supply southern Peru with continuity and traceability. Our operation handles an average of 3 million gallons of fuel per month, integrating controlled road segments, specialized transfers, and rail transportation to strategic locations such as Juliaca, Puno, and Cusco.
What this solution delivers
- Energy supply continuity
Stable operations for fuels and critical inputs across the southern region.
- Safety and international standards
Operations under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and FRA technical standards, essential for sensitive cargo.
- Reduced road exposure
Rail transport lowers tanker truck traffic and reduces operational risk.
- Truck + train integration
Ideal for fuel plants or terminals without direct rail access, through transfers at specialized points such as Pillones.
- Ideal for:
- Fuels (diesel, gasoline)
- Regulated petrochemical products
- Regional energy supply
Port Connection – Matarani
The Port of Matarani is the strategic export gateway for most cargo within the southern logistics corridor. Our operation converges there under a coordinated system that ensures fluidity, traceability, and export efficiency.
What this solution delivers
- Operational and port coordination
Alignment with shipping windows, schedules, documentation, and planning.
- Mine–plant–terminal–port continuity
Prevents accumulation, redundant transfers, and route stoppages.
- Strong rail support
Rail transport provides capacity, stability, and precise arrival times at the terminal.
- Ideal for:
- Mineral exports
- Large‑volume industrial cargo
- Operations sensitive to port scheduling
Strategic Storage
We operate 240,000 m² of storage capacity located in Matarani, within the port area, supporting operations that require consolidation, temporary stockpiling, or synchronization between rail and port activities.
What this solution delivers
- Operational consolidation
Temporary cargo storage and preparation for transfer or shipment.
- Rail and port synchronization
Ideal for absorbing delays, closed port windows, or production peaks.
- Improved time efficiency
Prevents congestion in loading areas and enhances planning.
- Ideal for:
- Mining cargo at intermediate stages
- Industries operating in batches
- Supply chains requiring operational flexibility
Rail transportation for the agroindustrial sector
We provide rail transportation solutions tailored to the agroindustrial sector, designed to move agricultural and agroindustrial products efficiently, safely, and under planned operations.
Our experience in rail operations allows us to integrate into agroindustrial supply chains that require operational reliability, regular cargo flows, and efficient use of transportation infrastructure, for both domestic markets and port‑connected operations.
Rail transportation represents a suitable alternative for moving agroindustrial products in significant volumes over medium‑ and long‑distance routes, contributing to greater schedule stability and optimization of logistics operations.
Scope of the agroindustrial solution:
- Transportation of agroindustrial products under planned rail schemes.
- Integration with existing logistics models, including bimodal transportation.
- Operations focused on bulk, palletized, or standardized cargo.
- Operational approach based on safety, control, and transport efficiency.
- Technical project evaluation according to product and route characteristics.
This solution is aimed at agroindustrial companies seeking a structured transportation model capable of supporting the growth of their logistics operations, backed by technical expertise and rail experience.
