Suape Port

It's the largest public port in the Northeast Region and occupies the fifth position in the national ranking.

Suape Port serves ships 365 days a year without regard to tide schedules.

These include a Petrobras refinery, Atlântico Sul (largest shipbuilder in South America) and a large petrochemical company.

Petroleum derivatives were the ones that had the greatest impact on the management of the port, due to the need to relocate the Abreu e Lima Refinery.

At 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest it interconnects with BR-232, a federal highway that crosses the state in the east-west direction.

The Transnordestina (main goods NE train line with 1,800 km/1,115  mi extent) crosses 3 and connects 7 States (34 cities just in Pernambuco).

Logistics, communications and financial sector employees make up 4%[6] of the Recife workforce and over 9% in the Metropolitan Area.

Since then, 60 people have been attacked by sharks, including 24 fatalities, mostly surfers who venture beyond the barrier reef that protects Recife beaches.
