The Port of Pecém concluded this Tuesday (01) the largest steel plate operation in its history. More than 72,000 tons of slabs were shipped on a single ship, a record volume that consolidates the Ceará port terminal as one of the most dynamic and effective ports in Brazil. Produced at the steel plant installed in the Export Processing Zone (ZPE) of Ceará, ArcelorMittal Pecém, the steel plates were shipped on the ship, which left for the Port of Houston, in the United States. In all, 2,487 plates were moved during the entire operation. Steel plates are currently the main cargo exported by the Port of Pecém. Produced within the Ceará ZPE area, they arrive at the port terminal by road and are shipped to more than 20 countries around the world. In the first half of this year alone, more than 1.46 million tons of slabs were moved through the Pecém Complex.
