Operated by the state company ENAPU, Puerto Ilo sits on Peru's southwest coast with two piers and an offshore oil terminal, handling general cargo, palletised goods and containers. A separate pier run by Southern Peru Copper Corporation exports copper concentrate and works coastal liquid-chemical traffic. The port's role increasingly centres on Bolivia: more than 100,000 tonnes of Bolivian cargo moved through Ilo in 2022, up about 41% year on year under a transit agreement between ASP-B and ENAPU. Imports lean toward general cargo and oil, while exports cover fish products, copper and other minerals. Container throughput stays modest, so high-volume box traffic is better served by Callao. Road corridors connect Ilo to southern Peru and across the Andes to Bolivia. For forwarders, Ilo is a mining, fisheries and Bolivian-transit call.
