# Peru-China maritime trade and logistics > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/peru-china-maritime-trade-and-logistics > Updated: 2026-09-30T20:36:59.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The maritime trade corridor between Peru and China, centered on the Port of Chancay and Shanghai, has experienced significant growth and subsequent logistical challenges. In 2026, the Chancay-Shanghai route saw a 13.7% increase in trips and a 33.3% increase in monetary value compared to the previous year, transporting approximately US$ 599 million in cargo between January and August. This expansion has prompted regional infrastructure debates, including proposals to extend Brazil’s BR-364 highway to connect the Amazon to the Pacific coast. However, environmental groups have warned that such developments could lead to the deforestation of up to 68,500 hectares annually. Despite the growth in trade volume, maritime reliability has been impacted by congestion in Chinese ports such as Shanghai and Ningbo. Following weather events, vessels have faced docking delays of up to two weeks. These disruptions have lowered service reliability, with only 21% of services in Shanghai and 34% in Ningbo meeting scheduled itineraries, posing risks to Peruvian perishable exports like avocados, blueberries, and grapes. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: Chinese port congestion disrupts Peruvian exports Port congestion in Shanghai and Ningbo is causing delays of up to two weeks, threatening Peruvian perishable exports and disrupting maritime schedules between China and Peru. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chinese-port-congestion-disrupts-peruvian-exports ### 2026-09-30: Chancay-Shanghai maritime route sees significant trade growth The Chancay-Shanghai maritime route has seen a surge in trade volume, while proposed road extensions in Brazil to connect with the Peruvian port spark deforestation concerns. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chancay-shanghai-maritime-route-sees-significant-trade-growth --- Cite as: Peru-China maritime trade and logistics.
