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.
