The Construction of the New Port in Presidente Kennedy, Espírito Santo, Is Scheduled to Begin Next Year

The Brazilian concrete and cement producer, Polimix, is planning to start the construction of the multifunctional port complex of Porto Central, located in the municipality of Presidente Kennedy, Espírito Santo. The new port is expected to begin operations in 2024, said the president of Porto Central, José Maria Vieira de Novaes, to the newspaper Valor Econômico. The complex will also receive around US$ 650 million in investments. Also see: Espírito Santo State Has 4,700 Job and Internship Openings.

The Start of Port Construction in Espírito Santo

According to the CEO of Porto Central, José Maria Vieira Novaes, the deadline to complete the construction of the liquid bulk sector, the first phase of Porto Central, is three years. Thus, the operational capacity will be 1.2 million barrels of oil per day. He expects that operations at Porto Central will begin in 2024.

To this end, several stages are being constructed, including the four contracts with refineries, including Petrobras, signed on July 13. These agreements are important investments for the project to proceed, according to Novaes. Additionally, according to the CEO, contracts with other companies, whose names cannot be disclosed, will operate between 250,000 and 300,000 barrels/day.

At least the necessary bureaucracy has already been fulfilled by Porto Central: the installation license, granted in 2018, along with the authorization for vegetation suppression in the area from the Navy, as well as licenses from Antaq. José Maria Vieira de Novaes estimates that investments in the construction of Porto Central in Espírito Santo will exceed US$ 2 billion.
