Port of Suape closes agreement with Panama Canal Authority

The Port of Suape (PE) has partnered with the Panama Canal Authority to increase its level of development and attract greater business opportunities.

The agreement, signed in Panama City, is valid for two years. In it, the parties have agreed to undertake joint initiatives such as market efforts to spread the benefits resulting from the expansion of the canal and the interconnection that offers Suape as a strategic location along the sea route.

According to the development secretary of Pernambuco, Bruno Schwambach, signing the agreement reinforces the government’s commitment to finding international partners. “We are seeking international partners that have operations with large ports and large shipowners. The Panama Canal is one of them, where we intend to make a very good synergy, considering the connection that it makes between the Pacific and the east coast of South America. So, we are getting behind these partnerships to show our full potential, “commented the secretary.

For the president of the port complex, Leonardo Cerquinho, the agreement will be very positive for the port of Suape “because it will make new international sea routes viable, facilitating our second container terminal. This will be reflected in an increase in cargo handling and an increase in port business.”
