Com a sua proximidade aos Estados Unidos e a Europa, tem sido resposta para uma vasta gama de municipios. Este artigo pretende apresentar a evolucao dos sistemas portuarios, do Porto do Pecem, mas principalmente definir as sua hinterlandia, ou seja, qual a sua real zona de influencia.Palavras-chave: Porto; Hinterlandia; Fluxos de mercadorias; importacao e exportacao; Pecem.
