On Thursday (07/29), Petrobras announced that it will make investments of R$ 24 million in Porto de Imbetiba, in the city of Macaé, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s largest oil company also states that this investment will be directed toward the modernization and renewal of infrastructure. Petrobras has also contracted and mobilized large equipment to support these projects.
This injection of resources aims to enhance the logistical support at Porto de Imbetiba to assist in the routine and anchoring projects of Petrobras’ platforms. These investments generate returns for society through job generation, encouragement of the activities of other companies, and consequent tax collection. One of Petrobras’ own port installations, Porto de Imbetiba, in the city of Macaé, has three piers and six berths, and currently performs around 115 dockings per month. Post-pandemic, this number is expected to reach 150 dockings/month.
To support underwater projects, the port is now using three large cranes – one with a capacity to move 120 tons within a 25-meter radius and two that can move 30 tons within a 35-meter radius. According to José Alves, Port Operations Manager in Macaé, he emphasizes the relevance of the activity for Petrobras.
