Taiwanese shipping company Wan Hai Lines seeks to strengthen its presence in the Peruvian market by operating ships of more than 13.000 TEU and providing services for the transport of refrigerated cargo.

The strategy focuses particularly on the transfer of blueberries and fresh grapes to Asian markets, two of the main products of Peru's agricultural exports.

During 2025, Peru's agricultural exports reached US$15.013 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 17,3%. Within that total, fresh blueberries accounted for US$2.457 billion, while fresh grapes reached US$1.960 billion.

More alternatives for refrigerated cargo

Wan Hai's expansion could broaden the logistical options available to South American exporters, particularly in aspects such as the availability of reefer containers, the frequency of maritime services, and transit times.

For the blueberry sector, these factors are part of the logistics planning of export programs to Asia, where the availability of refrigerated transport and maritime connections are relevant elements within the supply chain.

Peru strengthens its maritime connection with Asia

The ports of Callao, Paita and Chancay are part of the network that connects Peruvian agricultural exports with international markets and play a relevant role in shipments to Asia.

Wan Hai's strategy unfolds in a context marked by the growth of South American agricultural exports and increased demand for international maritime connections for fresh produce.

Expanding its presence in Peru could thus provide new transportation options for blueberry and grape exporters serving Asian markets.
