APM Terminals is now preparing, after winning the bidding for the new UPI at the Port of Suape, for the implementation of the projected investment of R$ 2.6 billion in the infrastructure over the next few years.

At the start of operations of the new terminal, the company’s structure will have a handling capacity of 400,000 TEUs, adding 55% more capacity to the port complex. Thus, the Northeast region will become even more relevant in the context of production distribution for the national port sector.

Now, APM Terminals is moving to the phase of seeking the necessary licenses and regulations for the start of the construction process. If the company can expedite this entire process, it plans to complete the construction within 24 months and expects the terminal to be fully operational by the end of 2025, when the dredging of the access channel and the evolution basin is also expected to be completed.

With the application of the multimillion-dollar investment in the construction of the new UPI, executive Leonardo Levy, Expansion Director of APM Terminals for the Americas, believes that the Northeast region of the country will be greatly benefited in socioeconomic development, with 338 direct jobs and 1,300 indirect jobs created, as he recently stated.
