DP World Callao builds green credentials

The Liberty, owned and operated by CMA CGM is, at 366 meters and with 14,800TEU capacity, one of the largest ships currently operated in WCSA trade.

“DP World is reducing its carbon footprint throughout the world and we hope to achieve carbon-neutrality in the South Pier in Callao by 2030,” states the terminal operator.

In 2021, DP World began a US$350M expansion plan – taking capacity from 1.5m TEU up to 2.7m TEU – with all new equipment bought for the upgrade helping it carry out a gradual change of the energy matrix from fossil fuels to electricity, especially from renewable sources. Eventually the company will halt emissions of 4320 tons of CO2 gases per year from its Callao facility.
