Offshore support activities and strategic location testify in favor of the Port of Angra do Reis and Port of Itaguaí having their Development and Zoning Plans approved

The Port of Angra dos Reis, located in the center of the city in the south of the state, had zoning changes approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure and this approval was published in the Official Gazette nº 115, through Ordinance 2.624, last Monday (17/06).
The Port Development and Zoning Plan (PDZ) was prepared by Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ), responsible for managing the Port of Angra dos Reis, with the collaboration of sector institutions.

In parallel with the PDZ for the Port of Angra dos Reis, the PDZ for the Port of Itaguaí was also approved five days earlier. Approval of the plan is important because it is a project that will enable the optimization of use and modifications in areas that include expansions of port facilities.

The plan also brings development not only to the ports, but also to the cities where they are located and is a sign of hope for job creation, especially in Angra dos Reis, where it has played a prominent role as a source of income for the population.

Another equally important function of the PDZ is to obtain more details about future demands and establish actions aimed at improving port operations, increasing the competitiveness of the sector.

According to the PDZ of the Port of Angra dos Reis, “the Port of Angra dos Reis has as its main function offshore support activities. The port is in a strategic location, due to its proximity to the Campos and Santos basins, which produce oil”.

Impacts on the city

According to the PDZ, changes in areas may affect the center of the city of Angra dos Reis, such as the São Bento and Carmo areas, which should suffer impacts within a period of four years.
Arrangement changes were also included, such as the addition of Multipurpose 3 areas (São Bento grass field) and the non-operational Area, where the Court of Justice facilities are located.

Private investments of around R$ 16,5 million are also foreseen, citing the maintenance of the draft of 8,53 meters, at zero tide, along the pier and, if possible, deepening it by at least 1 meter in relation to the current draft.
