Petrobras Extends Offshore Operations and Port Services Contract at the Port of Macaé, Offering a Breath of Relief to the City
[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]The municipality of Macaé has just gained some time to adapt to changes. It turns out that CPVV (Companhia Portuária Vila Velha) has just won the contractual bidding for port and offshore operations at Petrobras, at the Imbetiba Port in the city. For another 3 years, the company will maintain logistics and offshore activities at the port.
Until the next three-year period and with the contract starting in December of this year, CPVV presented the best bids, surpassing the companies Triunfo Logística and Nitshore, which also met the state-owned company’s requirements to compete in the bidding. The company’s contractual activities consist of loading and unloading vessels, supporting the supply of diesel and water, and cargo handling services.
With the contract expiring in November 2017 and that started in 2013 (4 years), CPVV remains a reference in port logistics in the region, maintaining a contract worth R$ 390 million. The main scope of its operations is to serve the platforms and rigs located in the Campos Basin, which Brazil Port, part of the Edison Chouest group, also shares this task, but operating from the Port of Açú.

The Future of Macaé
Tremendously shaken by the crisis in the oil and gas sector, as the city along with other municipalities in the region primarily live off resources from oil, this news raises the city’s morale a bit. Although the Port of Açú is massive and has the capacity to host dozens of vessels, all the technological and operational infrastructure is still in Macaé, making Petrobras consider the economic perspective for at least the next 3 years. Coincidence or not, this news coincides with the discovery of the PRE-SALT IN THE CAMPOS BASIN and the Revitalization of Mature Fields in the strategic plan of the state-owned company, which enhances and further highlights the recovery of the oil-producing sector in Rio de Janeiro.
Now, it is up to the city managers to invest in other sources of cash flow in the city such as industry, agriculture, or tourism, so that the NATIONAL CAPITAL OF OIL is not forever enslaved by oil and gas resources.
