Like in January, the Port of Recife performed well in the second month of the year. In February, 95,013 tons were handled. This represents a 30% increase compared to the same period in 2020. The products handled were malt, wheat, soda, and fertilizers, in addition to sugar – the category that moved the most – with almost 20,000 shipments to Côte d’Ivoire.
Panama, Liberia, Hong Kong, Switzerland, and the Marshal Islands, were some of the nationalities of the 11 foreign ships that passed through the terminal. In addition to the international ones, small vessels that supply the Fernando de Noronha archipelago also contribute to this growth.
In January, the port registered a growth of 69.04% compared to the same period last year, more than double the percentage estimated for the month.
In the accumulated result for the year, the port expected to handle about 82,000 tons but registered a movement of 166,041 tons. In January 2020, 98,225 tons were handled.
