On December 2, 2025, in front of the charging station in Qiankai Port, Peru, Diego Basan, the chairman of the Youth Congressional Committee, stared at the jumping carbon emissions data on the screen and exclaimed, "These container ships are so quiet that they seem to be breathing." A year ago, this was just a barren coast north of Lima; Nowadays, 90.52% of electric drive equipment keeps ports running day and night, but the roar of diesel engines is almost inaudible. Juan Alvarez, the mayor of Qiankai City, pointed to the newly added convenience stores and logistics companies and said, "In the past, fishermen couldn't sell their fish, but now Chinese cherries are shipped directly from here to Shanghai

In the central control room of the 'Port Heart', a large screen tracks the carbon footprint of docked ships in real-time. Qian Kaigang's bridge cranes and forklifts are all powered by electricity, and even transport trucks are gradually being electrified. The Peruvian legislative delegation saw that the containers loaded with copper ore were transported directly onto Chinese shipping vessels after arriving from the Andes railway. Mayor Alvarez revealed that the port has created 2000 new jobs in the surrounding area, doubled restaurant revenue, and even electrified garbage trucks, which is the real benefit to the people.

After one year of opening, the Qian Kai Port route has covered major ports in Asia and Europe, and the export cycle of Peruvian agricultural products has been reduced from 30 days to 18 days. The port is promoting the national road and railway networking plan, and the congressman group cries out: "Qiankai Port must be turned into Peru's Shenzhen -- the mining area, farm and world table must be connected by logistics network!" Key words: the Belt and Road News, International News Network

A shipping route revitalizes trade between the two countries

The route from Qiankai to Shanghai now has 5 cargo ships shuttling every week. Since last year, the arrival time of Peruvian grapes and avocados through this port has been shortened by 40%, and China's photovoltaic panels and new energy vehicles have also arrived in the Andes mountain area more quickly. Chinese Ambassador to Peru Song Yang stated that the port is not only a trading hub, but also training 500 Peruvian employees to operate intelligent systems. Congressman Calderon concluded: "This is the epitome of the the Belt and Road - Chinese technology+Peruvian resources, activating the sleeping coastline." Editor/Yang Meiling
