Port of Callao, Maritime port in Callao Constitutional Province, Peru

The Port of Callao, officially the Terminal Portuario del Callao, is Peru's main maritime port, on the Pacific coast of the Constitutional Province of Callao. It has five breakwater piers: piers 1 to 4, each 182.8 metres long, and the North Pier with four berths. Red gantry cranes with white machinery houses stand over rows of stacked containers marked Hamburg Süd, CSAV, Maersk and Sealand.

Founded by the Spanish in 1537, the port received shipments of enslaved Africans who were then taken to the Rímac in Lima for sale. In 2010 DP World Callao began operating the South Dock, and in April 2011 APM Terminals won the concession for the North Dock. In 2018 the port moved 2,340,657 TEU.

The Naval Museum of Peru, in central Callao, is run by the Peruvian Navy and opened on 18 July 1962, after its creation by Supreme Resolution on 13 November 1958. It is named after its first director, Navy Captain Julio José Elías Murguía. Its ten halls include the Viceroyalty Hall and the Guano and Saltpeter War Hall; among the pieces are the figurehead of the ship Nuestra Señora del Triunfo and the cannon of the Chilean schooner Covadonga.

The port is split into three concessions: Muelle Norte run by APM Terminals, Muelle Sur by DP World Callao and the central dock by Consorcio Transportadora Callao. The South Dock expansion, begun in September 2022 with a 350 million dollar investment, will reach 1,050 metres and a 39-hectare yard. Access is restricted to working areas, so views of the red gantry cranes and container stacks are from outside the perimeter.

The Naval Museum in Callao, opened in 1958 and run by the Peruvian Navy, holds the figurehead of the ship Nuestra Señora del Triunfo and the cannon of the Chilean schooner Covadonga. Its ten halls cover the Viceroyalty, the Republican Navy and the Guano and Saltpeter War.
