The Suape Port and Industrial Complex is the most complete shipping hub in the Northeast Region of Brazil for the location of port and industrial businesses. With a complete infrastructure to fulfill the needs of the most diverse enterprises, Suape has been attracting an increasing number of companies that are interested in either placing their products in the regional market or exporting to other countries.

The geographical position of Pernambuco in the center of the Northeast Region makes Suape the perfect cargo hub and distribution center. The location also makes the Suape Port ideal as an international hub port for the whole of South America.

Over 70 companies have either been installed or are in their implementation phase at the Industrial Complex, representing investments to the order of US$ 1.7 billion. In addition to the reliable infrastructure, these companies receive fiscal incentives offered by the state and municipal governments in order to stimulate the generation of jobs and enhance the regional economy.



In a planned strategy of international shipowners, Suape has come to be seen as a port on the Atlantic Coast of South America that can carry out the operations of “transhipment” – the transference of large ship cargo (4 th generation containers) to the port facilities and reload them onto smaller ships.

The hub is a deep-water port with electricity, water, telecommunications and natural gas networks installed throughout the complex and offers transport multi-modality with internal roads and railways.
