Port Overview

Cabedelo Port (UN/LOCODE: BRCAB) is a small Brazilian seaport on the east bank of the Paraíba River estuary in Cabedelo, Paraíba, approximately 200 km north of Recife. Its operating profile is centered on general cargo, with facilities indicated for containerized and liquid cargo handling. For international forwarders, Cabedelo is best assessed as a regional gateway requiring shipment-specific confirmation of vessel acceptance, available equipment, terminal windows and onward inland arrangements.

Key Highlights

Regional estuary gatewayThe port serves Cabedelo and the Paraíba area rather than functioning as a broad national mega-port.

Mixed cargo capabilityContainerized, general and liquid cargo requirements may be handled, subject to terminal and cargo acceptance.

Draft-sensitive planningVessel size, sailing window, tide and cargo intake should be checked before fixing a booking.

Small-port executionEquipment availability, berth sequencing and documentation cut-offs may have a greater effect on schedule reliability than at larger hubs.

Facilities & Services

Cargo handling: The supplied port record identifies a single cargo-handling dock with facilities for container and liquid cargo operations. Actual loading methods, productivity and equipment allocation should be confirmed for each vessel call.
General cargo: The port profile supports general-cargo handling; packaging, lifting points, dimensions and weight distribution must be reviewed before booking.
Container operations: Container acceptance, empty release, reefer support, dangerous-goods segregation and yard dwell rules are shipment- and terminal-dependent. Our service team verifies these items with the operating parties.
Liquid cargo: Liquid shipments require prior confirmation of cargo compatibility, terminal acceptance, tank or ISO-tank arrangements, safety documentation and any applicable local approvals.
Inland connection: Road-based pickup and delivery planning is generally the practical starting point for this regional port. Vehicle type, route restrictions, loading appointment and delivery-site access must be checked before dispatch.

Routes & Transit Times

Trade-direction assessment: Cargo to or from BRCAB may require a regional or hub connection depending on the carrier's current network, equipment positioning and port rotation. Our service team checks the actual sailing plan rather than assuming direct coverage.
Transshipment planning: Where a hub connection is required, total transit time depends on the first-leg schedule, connection protection, container roll risk and transshipment-port congestion.
Brazilian inland routing: For cargo moving beyond the Paraíba hinterland, the inland leg can materially affect the door-to-door schedule. Pickup location, road conditions, vehicle availability and customs release should be assessed together.
Schedule control: Arrival and departure estimates are indicative only. Draft restrictions, river-estuary conditions, berth sequence, weather, customs inspection and terminal cut-offs may change the operational timeline.

We do not publish an assumed fixed transit time or guaranteed direct service for BRCAB. The final routing should be quoted against the cargo profile, origin, destination, required equipment and confirmed carrier schedule.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland: Cabedelo and the state of Paraíba form the immediate service area, with inland reach determined by road distance, delivery-site access and the availability of suitable trucking capacity.
Regional distribution: Shipments serving northeastern Brazil should be compared on a door-to-door basis, including inland haulage, customs handling, storage and any hub-port alternative.
General and project cargo: Machinery, industrial components, palletized goods and other non-standard cargo require early review of dimensions, lifting arrangements, securing plans and delivery-site conditions.
Containerized cargo: FCL planning is more suitable where cargo volume, packaging and equipment availability justify a full container. LCL availability should be confirmed case by case rather than presumed.
Liquid cargo: Bulk or tank movements require advance validation of product classification, tank specifications, safety data, terminal acceptance and inland discharge arrangements.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Shipping instruction, VGM, customs data, export clearance and cargo delivery cut-offs are carrier- and terminal-specific. Our service team obtains the operative deadlines in writing and builds a buffer for a regional-port call.
Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, SDS and container packing information before booking. Acceptance, segregation and documentation must be approved before cargo dispatch.
Customs and inspection: Complete commercial invoices, packing lists, transport documents, origin information and any required permits must be consistent. Customs selection or physical inspection can delay release and should be included in the delivery plan.
Inland delivery: Confirm truck capacity, container dimensions, axle or weight restrictions, site access, unloading equipment and appointment requirements. Do not dispatch a vehicle until terminal release and delivery instructions are aligned.

Shipping Tips

Send the cargo description, HS classification, dimensions, gross weight, packaging type and final delivery address at the quotation stage so our team can screen equipment and inland feasibility.
For oversized, liquid or regulated cargo, provide drawings, SDS, tank details, lifting points and securing requirements before the booking is requested.
Reserve schedule flexibility around the planned vessel call. Where the cargo is time-critical, our service team can compare a BRCAB routing with a larger regional gateway on a total-cost and door-to-door basis.
Keep customs documents, VGM and dangerous-goods declarations synchronized with the booking. Any amendment after terminal submission may require re-approval and can affect cargo acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our shipment be booked as a direct service to Cabedelo?: It depends on the carrier's current rotation, equipment position and cargo type. Our service team confirms whether the available option is direct or requires transshipment; direct coverage should not be assumed.
Is BRCAB suitable for containerized cargo?: Yes, the supplied port profile identifies container-handling facilities. Acceptance, equipment availability, reefer or dangerous-goods capability and cut-off times must be confirmed for the specific sailing.
What should be checked for liquid cargo?: Confirm product classification, SDS, tank or ISO-tank specification, terminal compatibility, safety requirements, customs documents and inland unloading arrangements before cargo is moved.
Can large vessels call at Cabedelo?: The supplied record lists a maximum recorded vessel length of 200 m, draught of 9.2 m and deadweight of 63,500 t. These are reference records, not a guarantee for every call; the carrier and port operator must confirm current nautical and berth restrictions.
How should we manage a tight delivery deadline?: Provide the final destination and required delivery date at quotation stage. Our team compares the full routing, including transshipment exposure, inland transport, customs release and possible regional-gateway alternatives.

Data Sources & Provenance

The port code, name, location, coordinates, cargo profile, recorded vessel parameters and annual cargo figure in this module are based on the supplied BRCAB port record. Operational conditions such as berth availability, vessel acceptance, cut-offs, equipment, customs status, charges and sailing schedules are time-sensitive and must be reconfirmed for each shipment.

For Brazilian port-regulatory and port-statistics cross-checking, our service team uses authoritative public-sector reference domains including gov.br and gov.br/antaq. These sources provide the regulatory and sector verification boundary; they do not replace a shipment-specific confirmation from the carrier, terminal, customs broker or port operator.

Data status: reference information for freight planning. Final quotations, schedules, cargo acceptance, compliance requirements and inland delivery instructions are subject to written confirmation by our service team and the relevant operating parties.
