Pecem (BRPEC)

Pecem is a deep water port comprising 2 piers protected by an 'L'-shaped breakwater pier and reached from the mainland by a 2,120m length causeway road bridge. Pecem Port Terminal (TPP) is run by a consortium, CEARAPORTOS (Ceara Port Integration Company), comprising of Companhia de Logistica da America do Sul (Loxus), Daniel Transportes and Fator Projetos e Assessoria. The port handles general cargo and containers with the main goods being lemons, bananas, shrimp and cashew nuts. The LNG Pier is operated by Petrobras for the import of LNG, which is regassed and pumped into the national grid by the "Golar Spirit" while alongside the south side of the pier. Three new berth areas have been added as an extension to the facilities on Pier No 3 which include facilities for APM Terminals (Pecem).

Pecem is located on the NE coast of Brazil, in the State of Ceara, approx 22.5nm N of the port of Fortaleza (Mucuripe).

LOA 330m, beam 49m, draught 15.3m, 134,007DWT.

Approx 17,000,000t of cargo, 420,000TEU and 500 vessels handled annually.

Outer Anchorage - Vessels may obtain anchorage in an area, centred on position 3°28.73'S 38°49.49'W, of 0.6nm radius.

The port can be approached directly from the NNE, starting from the red and white stripe lighted buoy, (3°28'9S, 38°48'5W, light sequence Fl(1).W.10s) visible from up to 8nm and marking the entrance to Pecem harbour. The berths are accessed in a least depth of 15.2m. There is no access channel and least depth in fairway is 16m to 16.5m. Before expansion of Pier 3 with three additional berth areas, a substantial survey was carried out as to depths and bathymetry. Manoeuvring area: Between Pier 2 and Pier 3 there is a manoeuvring basin of 310m, for vessels up to LOA 300m. For larger vessels turning should take place with tug support outside the berth area.

BA 527. NP5, NP286(7). US Sailing Directions No 124 (East Coast of South America).

Pilotage is compulsory and two pilot services are available 24 hours a day. Pilots board 0.8nm ENE of light buoy (3°28.90'S 38°48.50'W).

Ponta Pecem (3°33'S 38°49'W), about 13 miles SE of Ponta Paracuru, is a prominent headland because of Morros Tres Irmaos, which can be seen from 20nm offshore. This point is marked by a light; the pier and breakwater here extending NW. Pico Da Rajada (3°54'S 38°44'W), located in the Serra de Marnaguape, about 16nm SW of Fortaleza, is 920m high. It is the first point sighted from sea in the area, due to its height.

There are no restrictions on berthing/unberthing at any tide. A submarine cable has been laid from a production platform (3°05.4'S 38° 47.7'W) to the shore, W of the terminal. There is a Restricted Area used for rocket firings, established between Ponta Pecem and Ponta de Mucruipe, extending from close to the shore, approximately 35nm NNE and 50nm off the coast.

Mean spring 2.70m HW, mean neap 2.08m HW. Average level 1.42m.

2 tugs available.

Port without paper programme: The Brazilian Federal Ports Bureau's Porto Sem Papel - PSP (Port Without Paper) programme was implemented at Santos Port in 2011. Initially, this will work alongside the old paper system. Several ports are now using PSP, including Pecem. It is planned to introduce this system to 34 public ports of Brazil. See Country Section for additional information

Vessels should send ETA 24 hours prior to arrival and advise any subsequent changes.
