Truck rule change

The Peruvian Association of Port Operators (ASPPOR) is calling for new regulations that would allow for two 20-feet containers to be transported by truck instead of the current maximum of one, as this would save 100,000 heavy vehicle trips per year between Lima and the port of Callao. Favio León Lecca, President of ASPPOR, is pressing for rules to be changed to reduce pollution and traffic congestion: “It is important that transport companies, regulators and port terminals work together to find solutions that allow greater efficiency in the flow of cargo, and, for sure, allowing two x 20 footers is one of them,” underlines Lecca.
