With Works Aiming at the Expansion of the Port of Cabedelo, the Government of the State of Paraíba Plans to Generate New Jobs and Increase Ship Receipt.
The Port of Cabedelo, located in Paraíba, celebrates 88 years of foundation, experiencing an unprecedented phase of expansion. One of the highlights related to this growth is the deepening of the navigation channel, which currently has a depth of 9.14 meters and will reach 11 meters. Through an investment estimated at nearly R$ 100 million, the works will allow the arrival of ships with a cargo capacity of 55 thousand tons, 57% more than those currently received. In addition, it will generate several job opportunities for the local residents.

One of these includes the arrival of cruise ships, which is currently in negotiation with the operator MSC Cruises, a Swiss cruise company that is a market leader in Europe and South America.
Another relevant curiosity in the current phase of expansion of the Port of Cabedelo is the implementation of a dry port, which consists of a customs-regulated retro-port terminal and is thus authorized by the Federal Revenue to receive export cargoes for dispatch and also imports while they are still in customs transit.
The establishment of the unit is being negotiated by the State Government and the company Agesbec, a customs warehouse company.
The works are expected to take place in the city of Caaporã, located on the southern coast of Paraíba, 60 kilometers from Cabedelo, generating about 224 direct jobs and an investment of R$ 20 million.
The letter of intent was signed on the 16th, last Monday.
According to the Companhia Docas da Paraíba, the new unit will improve port logistics, alleviate congestion at access points, and increase competitiveness.
