The Port of Açu Inaugurated This Wednesday (8) Another Warehouse of the Multicargas Terminal (T-MULT), the Second to Start Operating.

In the current phase of the terminal’s expansion, two new covered warehouses will be inaugurated, totaling three warehouses, increasing the static storage capacity to 110 thousand tons and doubling the customs area of the terminal to 360 thousand m². Rogério Zampronha, CEO of the Prumo holding company; José Firmo, CEO of the Port of Açu; and Jean Cintra, Financial Director of Lundin Mining Brazil, were present at the event.

The new warehouse has an area of 6,800m² and presents an approximate static capacity of 45,000 tons. It will serve to support copper export operations from Goiás, a strategic mineral that will aid in the energy transition. These operations have been implemented in partnership with Lundin Mining Brazil and will optimize the logistics costs of cargo importation by balancing the export-import flow for Goiás.

The new warehouse, with an area of 7,600m² and an approximate static capacity of 40,000 tons, will be inaugurated in the first half of 2023 by T-MULT. This initiative aims to mainly serve the markets in Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Espírito Santo, contributing to the national supply of fertilizers.

The Port of Açu is the most efficient logistical alternative to increase the competitiveness of industries and agribusiness in the Southeast and Midwest, with waiting times for customer mooring much lower than the average of other ports in the country, according to José Firmo, CEO of the Port of Açu.

The Expansion of the Multicargas Terminal (T-MULT) Is One of the Factors That Indicate the Success of the Partnership Established Between Lundin Mining and the Port of Açu. The President Director of Lundin Mining, Ediney Drummond, Comments That the Company’s Goal Is to Continue Working Sustainably and Enable Progresses Like This.

Through the recent expansions made in the infrastructure, the T-MULT Has Contributed to Boosting the development paved by the expectation of growth in Brazilian agribusiness. These include a covered warehouse for special cargo with a static capacity of 25,000 tons, enabling the first fertilizer imports as well as the construction of a new yard in partnership with Minas Gusa.

With 35 thousand m² of area, this focuses on importing solid fuels for the steel and cement industries. Additionally, due to the large area available and flexibility offered by the Port of Açu, T-MULT has potential for more future expansions, such as extending the dock and increasing the yard and storage areas.
