The CPPE (port authority of Pernambuco ports) authorized the Port of Suape to receive New Panamax container vessels, the largest container vessels operating in Latin America. The ship measures 366 meters in length, 52 meters in width, and has a capacity of 14 thousand TEU. Permission for New Panamax ships could attract new shipping routes to the country, serving importers and exporters in the northeast region, where Suape is the leading port in container handling. “Suape is the main port of entry and exit for coastal and long-haul navigations to the Northeast and deserved this authorization, so it joins the class of other major world ports. This strengthens Suape’s strategic mission to be a logistics hub for the region and promote our port’s warehouse. Also, with the ability to provide the government with more products on a global scale, we add one more valuable item to the list of attractions in Pernambuco when it comes to attracting new investments”, highlighted the Secretary for Economic Development, Geraldo Julio.
