Muscat: Sohar Port and Free zone entered into an MoU with Pecém, one of Brazil’s largest ports located in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The partnership aims to further maritime and logistical advancements via means of collaboration, joint business ventures, knowledge sharing & development of best practices, and looking into the development of green Hydrogen & other renewable energy sources. This is to be achieved in partnership with the stakeholders – The Port of Rotterdam and Asyad.
Mark Geilenkirchen, Chief Executive Officer of Sohar Port commented, “International partnerships, like the one with Pecém, allow us to consolidate expertise that helps us strengthen and expand our world port network and foster economic competitiveness. Particularly with Brazil being such a strong player in food exports, Pecém is a welcome addition to our flourishing food cluster. At the same time, by showcasing the incredible success Vale has achieved in Oman over the last 10 years, it will enable us to demonstrate to Brazilian companies the vast opportunities SOHAR has to offer.”
Danilo Serpa, CEO of Complex of Pecém said, “Our relationship with the Port of Rotterdam, who has been our partner since 2018, has opened up many new opportunities for us, including our latest with the SOHAR. Strategically located on a global trade route connecting Europe and Asia, it presents us with un-rivalled connectivity, helping us tap into the region’s tremendous potential. We look forward to linking both ports and bringing value to our shared customer base.”
As the closest Brazilian terminal to both the USA and Europe, the Port of Pecém is increasingly becoming the main hub for North and Northeast Brazil. It is considered to have the best port and hinterland infrastructure connectivity in the region, it is one of just a few Brazilian terminals capable of handling ultra-large container vessels.
