Macaé Lives in the Shadow of Bankruptcy, and If Nothing Is Done, the Entire Fluminense Region Will Suffer the Economic Impact

Macaé, affectionately called the Princess of the Atlantic and known in all four corners of the globe as the National Capital of Oil by major multinational oil companies, faces the real risk of having its economy brutally fragmented due to the migration of the port system and offshore operations to the Port of Açú, located in São João da Barra. The company Edson Chouest, which maintains logistical and port activities in the city, will migrate about 80% of its operations, leaving Macaé only to handle emergencies.

SindipetroNF claims that Macaé will become irrelevant and risks total depopulation, which would be an incalculable disaster since the city lives and survives entirely on resources from oil exploration. Union representatives also emphasized that the lack of planning and political will have brought the city to this point. For example, the urban zoning law for the construction of the “Porto do Barreto” was not signed by current Mayor Dr. Aluízio a few years ago, claiming insurgencies and flaws in the amendment presented by the councilors of Macaé. This project is what would literally save the city or, at worst, keep it stabilized since, due to this port, we would still have some offshore activity in the region.

Edson Chouest announced that operations in São João da Barra are in full swing and that the port system in the region is impressive, capable of offering high-quality, low-cost offshore services. The Petrobras is already mobilizing and aggressively leasing several properties in Campos dos Goytacazes, leaving Macaé literally “watching the ships go by.”

It’s a pity that Macaé, a city with history and tradition in the oil and gas sector, has come to this point. The truth is that the city is in a deep coma, breathing only with assistance; turning it off or not depends on you.
