With the Increase of Offshore Activities in the Pre-Salt of the City, Maricá is Already Considered the “El Dorado” of Oil

Maricá, a city located in the Petrópolis region of Rio de Janeiro, has just received a gift that is coveted by many municipalities, the construction and installation of the Ponta Negra Port Terminal. The agreement was signed by the city hall and DTA Engenharia at the Cine Teatro Henfil, which will generate massive labor in the city and a branched and diversified economic injection due to pre-salt activities.

The official communication vehicles of the municipality inform that there will be labor registrations through the Secretary of Industry and Port. Part of the revenue generated from pre-salt activities will go to a municipal qualification fund, which will be invested in free qualification programs or discounts on paid courses, in partnership with the FIES program, only for areas related to port activities.

The current mayor of the city, Fabiano Horta, says it is an essential milestone for the city, which will create means to generate many opportunities for the people of Maricá, helping them in their professional qualifications and increasing their families’ income. Likewise, the president of DTA Engenharia, João Acácio Gomes, said he is aware of his social responsibility and commitment to carry out these works as quickly as possible.

With the city of Maricá entering the “Hall of Fame” of the cities with the largest oil and gas ventures in the country, it will certainly be another option for those wishing to enter this sector. It is worth noting that Macaé -RJ has offshore hubs, the Petrobras base, and technological infrastructure, in addition to the port project that is in progress. The municipality of São João da Barra has its Superport of Açu, which serves the logistical support activities offshore, imports, and recently announced the construction of its thermoelectric plant.
