The presentation will be made by the superintendent of the Port, João Paulo Tavares Bastos, and the president of the Port Authority of Santos, Anderson Pomini.

According to him, with the support of the federal government, through the Port Authority of Santos, the Port will regain significant economic and strategic relevance.

Among them are works on the access channel of the Itajaí-Açu River, in the evolution basin, densification, readjustment of the jetties, removal of the hull of the Pallas ship, and containment of the right bank of the channel along the avenue.
On Thursday (8), João Paulo will be in Brasília. He will attend meetings at the Ministry of Ports and other agencies. The main agenda will be the final notice of the dredging concession, expected to be published later this year.
