In the year it completed 20 years of operation, the Pecém port terminal, which is part of the Pecém Port Complex (CIPP S.A.), a joint venture between the government of Ceará and the Port of Rotterdam, reached another milestone: it obtained a new container throughput record in 2022. In total, 417,132 TEUs were handled at the Ceará-based port, up 2% compared to 2021, with 410,557 TEUs handled. The total cargo moved year-to-date was 17,112,232 t in 2022, 10,624,987 t of which corresponded to landings, while another 6,333,754 t corresponded to shipments. Cabotage accounted for 62% of this movement, while long-haul navigation had a 38% share. The biggest highlight in terms of cargo movement was solid bulk, in particular ores, slag, and mineral fuels. Containerized cargo also played an important role, as well as loose cargo.
