International Hydroviary Terminal of Belém reaches 78% of completed services
Intervention at Warehouse 10 modernizes facilities, expands port capacity, and prepares Belém for COP30
The International Hydroviary Terminal of Belém (THIB) is undergoing a complete reconstruction and adaptation that will modernize the facilities and expand the operational capacity of the capital of Pará. Aiming to strengthen the port infrastructure of Belém, the Government of Pará, through the Port and Waterway Company (CPH), is executing the work at Warehouse 10 of the Pará Dock Company (CDP), in an area of 4,800 m², distributed between the ground floor and the upper floor. 78% of the services have already been completed, demonstrating an accelerated pace and efficiency in execution.
“This will be a modern, safe, and comfortable space to welcome our population and tourists. We are rescuing the history of this building while preparing the capital for COP30, delivering a heritage that will be a reference for Belém, for Pará, and for the Amazon, strengthening our people, boosting the economy, and opening paths for future generations,” highlighted Hilton Aguiar, president of CPH.
As it is a historic building from the early 20th century, a reference in the river logistics of the region, the work requires meticulous services, such as the recovery of the 64 metal pillars and the flooring. The process involved raising the entire structure, with more than 80 meters in length, followed by reinforcing the metal framework and applying new paint, which ensures greater durability and a renewed appearance.
Among the services already completed are the reinforcement of the metal structure, complete painting, floor elevation, roof recovery, masonry, and restoration of the original gates. Currently, the installation of metal tiles, glass frames, porcelain floors, ceramic baseboards, thresholds, sills, and black granite countertops is underway. Climate control and fire fighting systems are also being implemented.
Modernity – The THIB will be a modern and efficient operations center, prepared to meet the growing demands of transportation and tourism in the Amazon region. The space will feature boarding and disembarking areas, rest rooms, a hall, restaurants, shops, kiosks, a multipurpose space, and full accessibility.
Security – The structure will also have exclusive areas to enhance the security of passengers and tourists, with posts from the Federal Police and the Federal Revenue, a room from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), and a Tourist Police Station.
