Chimbote

Largest fishing port in Peru, situated at the mouth of the Rio Santa, 450 km/280 mi north of Lima, in the department of Ancash; population (2005) 324,400; urban agglomeration 1,039,400. The main industries are fishmeal and steel; fish products are exported. The port was built in the natural harbour on Ferrol Bay in the 1950s, primarily to serve the developing national steel industry.

The first iron and steel plant was built in 1958, fuelled by hydroelectric power from the Cañon del Pato station in the Rio Santa valley.
