Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify the key concepts that will allow us to determine the steps to implement a policy that benefits the Peruvian cabotage. Although there are supporters in the world for a total liberalization of the market, there are several important countries that protect the market through extremely strict laws based on national interest and security. In this bibliographic research, concepts such as the historical evolution of cabotage, mobility and maritime network, maritime situational awareness, port definition, challenges related to the sea, economic perspective, actions and regulations in favor of cabotage, cabotage in the world and as part of it, Peruvian cabotage and its advantages in its relation to multimodal transport could be identified. It was concluded that there is a lot of work that has to be done at the infrastructure and regulatory level to make cabotage an option that replaces land transport, which is deeply rooted in Peruvian commercial.
