“We are very excited to be participating, with a booth, in this fair that gathers major players in the maritime industry. We are living in a special moment after many in-person limitations. So, the expectation is very high to position Pecém as a strategic point for those who want to do business in Brazil, to do business in an industrial and port complex that attracts attention due to the partnership with the Port of Rotterdam. Therefore, we will detail this partnership to European investors, in addition to showing that Pecém is the home of green hydrogen in Brazil,” said Duna.
