The fourth and final phase of the restoration works on the breakwater of the Port of Suape in Pernambuco beginned this Tuesday (15). The investment will total R\$ 123 million, with R\$ 50 million from the Federal Government and R\$ 73 million from the Government of Pernambuco.

The works, expected to be completed only in 2028, aims to create a protective barrier against the force of high tides in the outer port. To reinforce the structure of the breakwater, blocks weighing up to 12 tons will be placed.

The project will restore the extension of the breakwater, which has suffered significant damage over the years, ensuring good conditions for the maneuvering and docking of ships, as well as minimizing the impact of waves and ocean currents.

Between January and July of this year, Suape handled R\$ 14.5 billion, an increase of 2.76% compared to the same period last year. This growth was driven by the operations of 83 companies in 12 industrial hubs, generating approximately 20,000 jobs.
