Peruvian dockworkers plea

Dockworkers in Peru have asked the government to ramp up investment in the port industry by using profits generated by state port companies to finance modernisation. Callao alone requires investment of $247m, while other regional ports are seeking $64m.

Enapu, which operates ports in Peru, has announced an investment plan for 2008-2010 amounting to $301m. In 2007, overall tonnage increased by 12.5% and container throughput by 14.4%, requiring expansion of existing facilities.
