Logistics – Port of Pecém
The Port of Pecém is an artificial
external port for mixed use and a property of the State Government of the State
of Ceará.
® The Port of Pecém is essentially made
up of an L-shaped protection jetty - Berma style, paralleled to quay 868 m away
and another paralleled to the beach 2000 m away from coastline with tree
berthing facilities, two in the shape of a pier, with two berths each and one
with continuous berth, being pier 1 for commercial operations with no solid
cargo, pier 2 for LNG transshipment between vessels and pier 3 for commercial
operations with general cargo and solid cargo.
The ocean
floor topography in the Port of Pecém region is dominated by rock occurrence
along the surf zone. By Ponta de Pecém there are significant extensive areas
covered by these outcrops.
Results from
the seismic survey indicate volcanic rocks forming the bedrock covered by sand
sediments and sludge. The thickness of the sediment layer varies inconstantly
from 0 to 18 m in the shore / offshore directions and on the portion paralleled
to the coastline. This is caused mostly by the fluctuation of the rocky base’s
bottom layer.
Sand layer thickness is not much at
depths lower than 10 m.
At depths
between 10 m and 16 m, volcanic rocks dominate. At depths lower than 16 m, the
ocean floor surface is covered mostly by the sand sediments.
The port is
operative 24 hours a day, during all the year.
