“This phase of the works will generate 400 direct jobs at the peak of implementation, with the expectation of generating another 1,200 indirect jobs,” added the executive.
The construction of Porto Sul, besides providing the state with another port terminal, will also expand Bahia’s logistics corridor. “This project between the State Government and Bahia Mineração will enable the export of our products (iron ore, grains from the west) and will also guarantee that the bidding for the concession of the West-East Railway (Fiol) can be carried out by the Federal Government,” stated the state secretary of Infrastructure of Bahia, Marcus Cavalcanti.
Bahia Mineração is a Brazilian mining company that began its activities in 2005 with a pioneering project for the state of Bahia. The company has strategic offices in Caetité, Ilhéus, Belo Horizonte, and its headquarters is located in Salvador.
