Suape, one of Brazil’s most important public ports, began 2023 with favorable winds and an estimated 8% increase in cargo throughput until December. The positive outlook is the result of some factors, including port infrastructure modernization, a strategic location that makes it the central hub in the North/Northeast, and increased cargo diversification. In addition, investments in innovation and the adjustment of the 2030 Master Plan will also help Suape maintain its position as the most refined industrial port in the country. In 2022, despite the still ongoing covid-19 pandemic, cargo throughput grew by 12% compared to 2021, totaling 24.7 million tonnes. Among the most handled cargoes are mineral fuels, mineral oils, chemical and organic products, and cereals.
