Location and Influence Area: |
|
The port of Ilo is located some 508 nautical miles to the South
of Callao, in a reasonably sheltered bay of good harbour and easy
access. The area has two of the largest copper mines in the country,
(Cuajone and Toquepala) both operated by Southern Peru Limited.
Ilo is the southern outlet for mineral exports and also handles
large volumes of incoming cargoes. The Pan-American highway linked
by other major roads connects the port of Ilo with other cities
such as Arequipa, Camana, Moquegua and Tacna. Besides, the bi-national
cooperation between Peru and Bolivia will increase its influence
area to Bolivian and even Brazilian regions in the near future.

Description: |
|
The
port of Ilo is situated abt 4.3 miles to the north of Punta Coles,
in a clean bay and is divided in 2 sections, being the southern
one the Southern Peru Limited (SPL) own "finger" pier
for their own exports and imports. To the North is the "fiscal"
pier which belongs to Empresa Nacional de Puertos (ENAPU). The
port has a rocky and clean seabed.

There
is good shelter from Southern seas for which no heavy sea conditions
are experienced, some moderate swell and surge can be expected
at berth though. However, between May and September, some port
closings are experienced when swell conditions may cause ships
breaking lines.
