With Capacity to Store Up to 220 Thousand m³ of Fuels and Investment Financed by R$ 343 Million by the Northeast Bank, New Terminal at the Port of Pecém Promises Logistical Efficiency, Cost Reduction, and May Finally Lower Fuel Prices in Ceará!

The price of fuels in Ceará has been a headache for drivers and businesses. But this may be about to change! A new tanking project at the Port of Pecém promises to revolutionize the logistics of the sector and bring more competitiveness to the market, which could result in a positive direct impact on consumers’ pockets.

New Tanking Terminal at the Port of Pecém Promises More Competitiveness

With an investment of R$ 430 million, the Dislub Equador Group is making a strong bet on the construction of a tanking park in the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex. The forecast is that the works will be completed by August 2027, and the project has already begun to take shape with the initial earthworks.

The terminal will have an initial storage capacity of 130 thousand m³, with the possibility of expansion to 220 thousand m³. This means that gasoline, diesel, ethanol, biofuels, aviation kerosene, and even crude oil can be moved more efficiently.

How the New Structure Can Impact Fuel Prices in Ceará?

The new terminal will allow fuels to reach Ceará directly by large ships, reducing dependence on road transportation, which is more expensive. With lower logistical costs, the expectation is that fuel prices will become cheaper for consumers over the years.

Ceará frequently ranks among the states with the highest fuel prices in Brazil, and one of the main culprits is the distribution logistics. Today, a large portion of fuels reaches the state by highways, which increases transportation costs and, consequently, the final price to the consumer.

With the new terminal, this reality may change. The Port of Pecém will be able to receive large-scale ships, reducing dependence on road transportation and making distribution more efficient and cheaper. The result? Greater competitiveness and, in the long run, more affordable prices for the final consumer.

Logistics as a Key Factor for Price Reduction

Currently, about 40% of the fuels consumed in Ceará arrive by other modes, mainly road. This method increases costs, as it involves expenses with tolls, fuels, and vehicle maintenance. This logistical bottleneck directly contributes to the high fuel prices in the state.

The new tanking terminal promises to change this scenario, bringing more efficiency to the supply chain. The structure will be able to serve neighboring states by using rail modes, which can further lower transportation costs. In the medium and long term, this change could make fuels more accessible for the people of Ceará and the entire Northeast region.

Job Creation and Local Economic Impact

A project of this magnitude generates not only impacts on logistics and fuel economics but also on job creation. The construction phase of the terminal is expected to create 500 direct jobs, in addition to hundreds of indirect opportunities. Once operational, the terminal will also open about 100 permanent job positions.

In addition to job creation, the tanking terminal reinforces Ceará’s role as a strategic hub in fuel distribution. The financing from the Northeast Bank (BNB), which secured R$ 343 million of investment, demonstrates the significance of the initiative for the region’s economy.
