Puerto de Paita, Commercial port in Paita, Peru.

Puerto de Paita is a commercial port located in the northern coastal city of Paita. The facility operates multiple cargo berths designed to handle large vessels and different types of maritime traffic.

The terminal was built in 1966 and renovated in 1999. In 2008 it was downgraded from national to regional scope, which suspended the privatization process that Proinversión had begun at the request of the National Port Authority. In 2009 it was concessioned to the consortium Terminales Portuarios Euroandinos, which signed the contract in September of that year.

Paita handles mainly hydrobiological and agricultural cargo, so the port's calendar follows the fishing and harvest seasons. The 2009 concession to the luso-Peruvian consortium Terminales Portuarios Euroandinos made it Peru's second container port after Callao, and its cranes now serve agro-exporters of the northern regions.

The terminal lies in Paita province, 56 km from Piura, at 5°5′28″S 81°6′23″W. It is a restricted cargo facility, so views are from outside the perimeter; the 300 m berth, 12 ha container yard and gantry cranes are the visible elements. Access is by road from Piura.

In 2018 the port handled 274,151 TEU, ranking 42nd among Latin American and Caribbean ports. Its cranes can move up to 70 containers per hour per ship, three times the 22 recorded in 2009. The 2014 upgrade added a 300-metre berth and a 12-hectare container yard.
