With the purpose of building a Transport Highway in Macaé that will connect Tempor to BR - 101, the long-awaited port seems to be finally coming to life
The mayor of Macaé, Dr. Aluízio, expropriated an area of 6.448.378,97 square meters in extension that will be used for the construction of the Transport Highway that will connect the area of the Macaé Port Terminal (Tepor), in São José do Barreto, to RJ-168, connecting to the area city center and the BR-101. The decree establishes the area as a public utility and was published in the Official Gazette of the municipality this Wednesday (2).
The transport area will be around 19 kilometers long and is a requirement of the State Institute for the Environment (Inea), the body responsible for granting the permit for the Macaé Port Terminal (Tepor) work.

– Transportuária is the first step towards the construction of the port and is already part of the Tepor project, as required by Inea. For the construction of the island (berth berths) of 400 thousand square meters, many stones will be needed: the equivalent of two years just transporting this material. The highway will have a 'dedicated link' during the construction of the port. In other words, the traffic will only be used for this purpose during this period – explained the secretary of Economic Development, Labor and Income of Macaé, Gustavo Wagner, adding that the work should last about four years.
The Transport Highway will cost R$ 100 million, including four viaducts if the need for construction is signaled by Inea. The work will be carried out by EBTE, the company responsible for the port project.
– The transport work is fundamental for the installation of the port. What depends on the effort of the municipal government is done. Now, in early June, the company will deliver the Environmental Impact Study and the Environmental Impact Report (EIA/Rima) to Inea. From then on, the period of 120 days begins to count for the state body to issue an opinion and release the license, in addition to a new public hearing – completed Gustavo Wagner.
Tepor – The onshore area will occupy a total of up to 6.000.000 m2, and will have storage yards and bonded warehouses. Its back area includes: Petroleum Storage Terminal, with a storage capacity of 4,5 million barrels; Fuel Storage Terminal, with a storage capacity of 420.000 m3; Natural Gas Processing Plant (“UPGN”), with a processing capacity of 60 million m3/day. The port will have two offshore terminals. Source: Economy and Business
