Port of Pecém Inaugurates Cold Cargo Terminal of R$ 105 Million with Capacity of 60 Thousand Tons and Real-Time Remote Monitoring
The Port of Pecém has just gained a new cold cargo terminal built by the Swiss multinational Fracht Log, following an investment of approximately R$ 105 million. The facility, which will begin operations in September 2025, has the capacity to handle 60 thousand tons of refrigerated cargo annually and will operate 24 hours a day, serving from storage to integrated transportation.
The space is considered strategic for sectors that depend on refrigeration, such as fruit growing, poultry farming, livestock, and fishing. In addition to cold cargo, the structure can handle up to 174 thousand tons per year when dry goods are included, consolidating Pecém as a logistics hub in the Northeast.
State-of-the-Art Structure and Technology
The terminal occupies 107 thousand m² of total area, with 17 thousand m² constructed and 64 thousand m² of external yard. Highlights include the anteroom with 10 simultaneous docks, allowing for greater agility in loading and unloading operations.

New CCR concrete paving technology promises roads up to 3x more durable, less maintenance, and cost reduction in Brazil.

Made from recycled plastic, plastic wood is gaining space in the construction industry because it does not rot, resists moisture, and reduces maintenance costs over the years.

Florianópolis will receive a million-dollar BRT that will begin construction in 2026 with nearly 400 million in funding from the federal government and the Inter-American Development Bank, and the map already shows the routes for the exclusive bus corridors.

Without a blueprint, without an engineer, and using scrap from the dump, a father spends 15 years building an 18-room castle for his daughter, featuring tram tracks, 13 fireplaces, and over 700 m², which may now be demolished.
Another differentiator is the use of telemetry and warehouse management systems (WMS), which allow clients to monitor the temperature and location of the goods in real time. This technology ensures complete traceability, a crucial factor for exporters operating in demanding markets such as the United States, Spain, and the Netherlands.
Economic Impact and Job Creation
The initial phase of the project has already created 80 direct jobs and 400 indirect jobs, with expectations of expansion as operations scale up. Besides enhancing the export logistics of Ceará, the terminal is expected to attract new shipping routes and companies to the complex.
The investment aligns with the state strategy to consolidate Pecém as a logistics hub in the Northeast, complementing future projects such as Transnordestina and the Green Hydrogen hub under construction in the same industrial complex.
Pecém as an Export Platform
The new terminal boosts the Port of Pecém‘s capacity to compete internationally, especially in the trade of fresh fruits, meats, and fish, products that require strict quality control and rapid logistics.
For producers and exporters, the continuous operation and remote monitoring reduce risks and enhance reliability in transporting perishable goods.
