A mega venture is about to emerge after a significant investment from the Netherlands in Brazil. The Port of Rotterdam is collaborating with the Port of Pecém, and this partnership promises to generate thousands of jobs. This project will not only strengthen logistics infrastructure but also boost economic development in the region.
Expanding dialogue with international partners to attract more investment to Brazilian ports and airports and expanding the infrastructure of transport modes are priority commitments of the Federal government. The Netherlands, also known as the Netherlands, has made significant investments in Brazil, contributing to economic development and job creation. A striking example is the collaboration between the Port of Rotterdam and Port of Pecém, which is boosting Brazil's logistics infrastructure and promises to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs. This strategic partnership aims not only to strengthen port operations, but also to foster innovation and sustainability in the transport and logistics sector by creating a mega project.
Dutch investment in Brazil reaches R$414,675 million
O Port of Rotterdam has partnerships with Brazilian ports to improve logistics and transport infrastructure. This investment by the Netherlands in Brazil in a mega project aims to increase the efficiency of Brazilian ports, reducing costs and transport times. The development of port infrastructure also generates jobs in the construction, operation and maintenance of these ports.
The Dutch investment in Brazil, more precisely from the Port of Rotterdam Authority in the Port of Pecém, is a large-scale mega project that includes the modernization and expansion of port and industrial facilities. With an investment of approximately US$85,5 million, equivalent to R$414,675 million, the mega project aims to transform the Port of Pecém into one of the main logistics and industrial hubs in the northeast of Brazil.

Second Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port Authority of Rotterdam in a statement, the participation of the Port of Rotterdam in the Brazilian Port of Pecém is promising for all parties.
This investment will further intensify the partnership and the port will work with the state of Ceará to ensure that the Port of Pecém expands to become the future logistics and commercial center of Northeast Brazil.
More than 20 thousand jobs will be created after Dutch investment in Brazil
The expectation is that, with the Dutch investment in Brazil, around 3 to 5 thousand jobs are created. With the estimate based on the proportion of three indirect jobs for each direct job, the expectation is that 9 to 15 thousand indirect jobs will be generated.
Investments for the Mega Project are crucial for the economic development of the region, providing new jobs and leveraging local economic growth. The total impact of the jobs generated goes beyond direct figures, improving infrastructure, increasing logistical efficiency and promoting sustainable development in the area.
These jobs include sectors such as transportation, logistics, services, supply of materials and equipment, and other ancillary sectors. It is common for projects of this magnitude to create a significant number of indirect jobs, often exceeding the number of direct jobs.
The estimate is that for every direct job created in infrastructure projects, up to three indirect jobs will be created.
