doi: 10.12957/geouerj.2016.15969

This article analysis the relationship between the Pecem Port and Brazil, from a logical of flows. To note that Pecem’s Port, 60 kms from Fortaleza, the state capital, was built to integrate the Industrial and Port Complex, which is still in installation. With this temporal mismatch between the port's opening in 2002 and the construction of anchor industries, the Pecem Port sought to expand its structure allowing the export and import of other commodities. With its proximity to the United States and Europe, the Pecem port has been a response to a wide range of municipalities. This article intend to present the development of port systems, Pecem’s Port and especially define its hinterland, ie, what is your real influence area.
