Furthermore, in a seminar organized on Tuesday by the General Consulate of China in Rio de Janeiro, the director-general of Porto Central, José Maria Novaes, invited Chinese companies to join the project and take advantage of the port, designed to be the most modern in South America when inaugurated at the end of 2023.
New Frontiers for Brazilian Trade – Industrial Port
“Undoubtedly, Asia, especially China, is Brazil’s largest trading partner, and this international trade flow, mainly of commodities from Brazil to Asia and industrialized products from Asia to Brazil, requires large ships” that few Brazilian ports can accommodate now, Novaes noted.

“There are few ports in Brazil with the capacity to load and unload the world’s large ships. Therefore, this is the differential of the Porto Central project: being able to receive the largest ships in the world, in every class, at each port terminal,” he said.
Industrial Port Will Provide Water, Energy, and Gas at Competitive Prices
“It is an industrial port that enables water, energy, and gas at competitive prices. With terminals for exporting raw materials and semi-finished products, and with flexibility to accommodate the interests of project developers,” he added.
Finally, the Secretary of Development of Espírito Santo, Marcos Kneip, told the seminar participants: “Porto Central is becoming a reality. It is an industrial port complex that will serve oil and gas, mining, and agriculture companies, and will support the offshore industry.”
