I didn't notice this in the first sim report, but I see you're doing some infrastructure improvements in Mollendo?

Indeed, the dry dock there is being expanded to a Type 1.0 from the current Type 0.0

Mkay.

I think I've said this to previous Peruvian players, but I'll mention it again for your benefit. I know Mollendo's been used as one of Peru's WW naval bases for ages... but it really isn't a great port city by almost any stretch. There's no shelter in bad weather and the nearby coastline is hazardous to navigation. About the only thing going for it is the long, broad beach which made the town attractive for surfing and amphibious assaults. *Cough cough.*

The town of Matarani which is 6 miles north has a breakwater and a sheltered anchorage sufficient for 2-3 large cargo ships, though; and it hosts the region's artisanal fishing fleet.

Perhaps the Peruvians are making a big old breakwater and other 'port improvements' as part of the expansion of the drydock? Probably would be desirable if you want to host ships much larger than MTBs. ;)

Doing a few moments research leads me to the same conclusion.

However, since the infrastructure in question has been assigned to "Mollendo" for ages, I am not certain how the player base would react to any change. Re-labeling my reports would be easy enough, particularly at this stage of things - and it would be a quick solution to the issue. Or we presume that "Mollendo" refers to the district and Matarani is a part of it - the part with the port.

I'd be fine with referring to it as the district, and presuming the yard is in Matarani (it's definitely a cramped location, but more suitable than Mollendo itself). I'd also be fine with re-labeling it "Mollendo / Matarani" - or even just making a presumption that some port features, such as a breakwater, have been / are being built in order to accommodate the expansion of the base.

I mean, it's not like you've got many other good options for a base south of Lima-Callao. *shrugs* Northern Chile's actually got similar problems, with very few ports capable of handling more than a few small fishing craft...

Well, in the south, there is Ilo, which if nothing else, is home to the Peruvian Naval Museum.

I would prefer to subsume Matarani under the aegis of the Mollendo District - even if OTL Peru doesn't. I think I will need to extend the railroad.
