Ownership changes and port regulations. Our firm advised Trabajos Marítimos on a matter involving a change in shareholder ownership on the port’s classification and operations under the National Port System Law and its regulations. This required an in-depth review of the limitations imposed on private ports to ensure that the change did not disrupt ongoing operations.
Navigating port donations and regulatory requirements: We also assisted the client with potential donations to government entities, such as the Regional Government or Ministries, and whether such donations would require the surrender of the port’s authorisation or the aquatic usage rights granted by the National Port Authority (APN) and the General Directorate of Captaincies and Coast Guards (DICAPI).
Ensuring regulatory compliance for seamless port operations: Our firm provided detailed legal advice on both matters to ensure the continued operation of the port without regulatory complications. We played a critical role in helping the client navigate both issues to avoid potential disruptions to their port operations and ensure continued legal authorisation from the APN and DICAPI.
Peru’s leading nationwide port operator: Established in 1990, Trabajos Marítimos is the largest port operator in Peru, and the only company offering a full service package across the whole country.
Legal clarity for private port operators in Peru: This case is important because it clarifies the legal implications for private port operators in Peru, particularly when facing ownership changes and decisions about making donations to public entities. The case provides a clear understanding of the intersection between private port operations and public law, ensuring that regulatory compliance is maintained.
Latest development: We successfully completed the regulatory review requested by the client.
