New Port in SC Will Have 4 Piers, 450 Meters Facing the Sea and Capacity to Export Grains, Fertilizers, and Fuels; Coamo Terminal Promises to Transform Brazilian Logistics.

The Coamo Agroindustrial Cooperative, the largest agricultural cooperative in Latin America, announced its plans for the construction of a new port in SC, precisely in Itapoá, during the “Best of Agribusiness 2024” award ceremony hosted by Globo Rural. The initiative reflects the cooperative’s strategy to expand its port infrastructure and meet the growing demand for exports.

According to José Aroldo Gallassini, chairman of Coamo’s board, the investment is urgent. “We will invest there because we have a very high demand for ports. Last year, we exported through six ports, that’s why we will invest,” Gallassini stated during the event. The construction of the port in Itapoá is in the environmental licensing phase and is considered a milestone in the planning of the cooperative.

Structure and Impact of the New Port in SC

New port in SC will be built in Itapoá, a strategic region near Porto Itapoá, connecting 115 receiving units of Coamo in three states of Brazil.

The designed maritime terminal will have four berths, with 450 meters facing the sea and a draft of 18.5 meters. The infrastructure will be aimed at operations with grains, fertilizers, liquid fuels, and LPG, handling up to 10 million tons per year when fully operational. The adopted model will be a Private Use Terminal (TUP), reinforcing the strategic nature of the port construction in Itapoá.

Advances in the Licensing Process

The preliminary environmental license request was submitted to the Environment Institute (IMA) in June and is currently under review. The cooperative is awaiting approval to advance to the next stage, which involves presenting the environmental impact study. With a global revenue of R$ 30.3 billion in 2023, Coamo reinforces its prominence in the sector with long-term investments such as the new port in SC.

This initiative consolidates Coamo’s leadership in agribusiness and demonstrates its commitment to sustainable and strategic development, positioning the new port in SC as a key element to boost competitiveness in Brazilian exports.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The Japanese ship Chikyu lowered a drill six kilometers below the Pacific seabed and brought up mud laden with rare earths, in a test that could pave the way to break China’s dominance over technology metals.

While the world is living in 2026, Nepal has already entered 2083 and uses a calendar that intrigues visitors, appears in official documents, and makes astronomers decide when each new year really begins, far from the standard adopted in much of the planet.

Copper ink developed by American researchers withstands 6 months in seawater and could reduce the cost of solar panels, electronic boards, and durable devices.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.
