Chimbote - Peru
 Chimbote is the largest city in the
Ancash Region of Peru. It is also the capital of the Santa Province and
the Chimbote District. The city is located on the coast in Chimbote Bay,
south of Trujillo and 422 kilometers north of
Lima.
Chimbote is the largest fishing port in Peru. Chimbote has more than 30
fish factories, and has some of the world's finest fish-packing
equipment. During the 1970s El Ni�o, an earthquake, and overfishing
drastically affected the fishing industry, and restrictions were added.
However, more than 75 percent of Peru's fishing industry occurs in
Chimbote. The Chimbote-Huallanca rail line, built in 1922, serves as a
railway for coal and iron mines on the interior and a railway for the
river valley by transporting rice, cotton, sugarcane, and bananas.
