The port market in the state of Ceará is expanding and looking for new investments. As a result, a container terminal at the Port of Fortaleza has been leased by Companhia Docas do Ceará (CDC) and awarded to container operator Progeco. The six-month contract will allow for new cargo-handling operations in the region. Because of its high potential, the Port of Fortaleza is an important asset to the Ceará port market regarding container operations. Thus, Companhia Docas do Ceará and Progeco signed an agreement for the temporary six-month lease of a container terminal at the port complex. Progeco is a subsidiary of the French company CMA Terminals, a multinational in the maritime transport sector. According to the initial contract, it will operate and maintain its own cargo throughout three operational areas.
