The Renewal of the License and APM Terminals’ Robust Investment Will Make Pecém Port an Important Logistics Hub in Brazil’s Northeast.

With the renewal of the license to operate at the Port of Pecém for another 15 years, APM Terminals Pecém announces an investment of R$ 200 million focused on expanding operational capacity, modernizing equipment, and reducing carbon emissions.

The expectation is that the expansion works will be completed by 2029, increasing the terminal’s annual handling from 650,000 to 850,000 TEUs, making Pecém Port even more strategic for trade and the economy of Ceará.

Capacity Expansion and Technological Modernization

The expansion project includes the installation of a fourth Ship-to-Shore (STS) crane, which will enhance efficiency in loading and unloading ships.

In addition, the company will replace diesel-powered equipment with six electric rubber-tired gantries (e-RTGs) and electric trucks, an initiative that significantly reduces the terminal’s environmental impact.

These improvements come alongside the construction of a new 350-meter dock, a project led by the Pecém Complex, which will expand port infrastructure to meet growing demand.

According to Daniel Rose, CEO of APM Terminals Suape and Pecém, “the replacement of the current fleet represents an important advancement for the company’s sustainability goal and will contribute to a 70% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.”

The commitment to sustainability is one of the pillars of the investment, aligning the terminal with best environmental practices and global emission reduction targets.

Partnership Between Pecém Port and APM Terminals

The continuation of APM Terminals’ operations at the Port of Pecém reinforces cooperation with the Pecém Complex and the Government of the State of Ceará.

“The partnership with the Pecém Complex and the State Government has been essential to enable this new phase of sustainable expansion and job creation,” highlights Daniel Rose.

The expectation is that the project will bring not only logistical advancements but also positive economic impacts, with the creation of direct and indirect jobs in the region.

With the renewal of the license and the robust investment, Pecém Port is consolidating itself as an important logistics hub in Brazil’s Northeast, combining operational expansion, technological innovation, and environmental responsibility to meet global market demands.
