A project of R$ 100 million will deepen the Recife Port channel, increase the draft, and strengthen Pernambuco’s maritime logistics with a start expected by March 2026.
The Port of Recife will undergo a dredging to readjust the waterway infrastructure with an estimated investment of R$ 100 million. The contract was signed this Friday (30th), in Recife, paving the way for the terminal to receive larger ships and operate more efficiently.
The project is considered by the federal government as an important intervention for the logistics of Pernambuco and the Northeast. With the new design of the waterway access, the port complex is expected to gain a minimum depth of 12 meters, as well as better conditions for maneuvers and cargo handling.
According to the Ministry of Ports and Airports, the intervention was also designed to enhance the safety of operations and reduce logistical costs, with a direct impact on the competitiveness of the Pernambuco port.
