Maintaining cabotage when the El Niño Costero (Fen) phenomenon ends is unattractive due to its high costs, due to the lack of infrastructure and adequate logistics, said Juan Carlos Paz, director of water transport at the MTC. The current costs of cabotage are three times higher than in land transport, says Paz. Furthermore, “a maritime transfer from Lima to Trujillo takes an average of five days between crossing and disembarking; the freight (by land) takes two, ”says Francisco D’Angelo, executive VP of Yobel SCM. For Ángel Becerra, director of GC1, the regulations limit competition and the impact of cabotage. «The MTC is working on a bill and on the development of logistics platforms to promote cabotage,» said Paz.
