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 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.

About the Multicargas Terminal (T-MULT)

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Two new 300cc models from QJ Motor are expected to arrive in Brazil as SBM to target the CB 300F and shake up the low-displacement market, with more power and liquid cooling than Honda.

Federal Police involved in the case to identify the person responsible for hacking the Civil Defense system, which sent ten false alerts, frightened residents of different capitals, and turned messages about real risks into notifications with “misanthropy” and even alien attacks.

Extreme drought causes ghost village to reappear at the bottom of the reservoir that supplies Athens, revealing houses, a school, and ruins swallowed since the 1980s as the lake shrinks and exposes the water crisis threatening the capital of Greece.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

In Virginia, a family of small-scale farmers refused to swap the countryside for the city and transformed their milk production into award-winning artisanal cheese from Mantiqueira de Minas.
