Federal Revenue declares the Port of Fortaleza bonded

The Internal Revenue Services of Brazil has declared the customs of the Port of Fortaleza, in Ceará. Now, the 275 thousand square meters of the Organized Port are bonded, which will allow the expansion of berthing capacity of vessels with another 350-meter berth.

For Mario Jorge Cavalcanti, CEO of Companhia Docas do Ceará (CDC), this is a great achievement for the port, which will now have greater capacity to meet the demands of cargoes, including containers. “The measure brings more security and competitiveness since the expansion can leverage more business for the state of Ceará,” explained Mario Jorge.

In order to meet the demands from the Brazilian IRS, the Federal Government invested about R$12.6m in equipment such as the electronic security and monitoring system (CCTV) and acquisition of OCR technology, which allows the recognition of characters in images, besides scanners for containers.

Among the main products handled by the Port of Fortaleza are cement, rice, steel, salt, fruits, cashew nuts, flour, wheat, blades, slag, gasoline, diesel, crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas, and vegetable oils.
