A new mooring berth came onstream at Pecém Port on August 1st. The Log-In Polaris docked to become the first vessel to use the facilities of berth 10 – located in the Multiple Utility Terminal (TMUT), which has the capacity to receive vessels up to 330 meters in length with a draft of up to 15.3 meters.  The docking of the Log-In Polaris at berth 10 also marks the first simultaneous operation at berths 10 and 9, where the Hayling Island was already docked.

The document is in the Federal Official Gazette (DOU), page 38, section 1.

With the completion of these works, the second expansion phase of Pecém is complete, which included a series of investments to increase the operational capacity of the port terminal. Among them are mainly: the expansion and paving of the breakwater; the construction of three new berths (berths 8, 9 and 10); and the acquisition of the Ore Conveyor Belt and the Ore offloader.

Investments reached R$1.3 billion and included other works and equipment, such as plate loaders and the construction of the fire department building. As part of the modernization of the terminal, works were also carried out to expand the administrative building; recovery and modernization of the lighting towers; construction of the energy substation, and paving of the area for the cargo scanner operations.
