Construction of Jaconé Port Begins This Semester and Is Expected to Create 13 Thousand Jobs, Billionaire Royalties, and a New Economic Hub in Maricá.

The construction of Jaconé Port, officially named Ponta Negra Terminal (TPN), is confirmed to start in the second half of 2025. The official announcement was made on Wednesday (4), during a meeting at the Guanabara Palace, with the presence of Mayor Washington Quaquá and Governor Cláudio Castro. The project is considered an economic turning point for the municipality and the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Billion-Dollar Investment and Job Creation Put Maricá on the Development Map

With an estimated budget of R$ 1.5 billion, the construction of Jaconé Port is expected to generate around 13 thousand direct and indirect jobs.

Additionally, the expectation is that the municipality will collect approximately R$ 1.3 billion per year in royalties, boosting Maricá to a new level of revenue and economic prominence.

During the announcement, the Mayor of Maricá, Washington Quaquá, highlighted the decisive role of the state government.

“This port was only possible thanks to the always very democratic, republican, and proactive intervention of Governor Cláudio Castro. It’s been 15 years of struggle,” Quaquá declared.

The governor reinforced the potential of the terminal:

“You take advantage of a natural blessing, which is oil, and turn it into development, into ventures and jobs for the population,” Castro stated.

Jaconé Port Will Be a Reference in Sustainable Exports and Innovation

The Ponta Negra Terminal will be integrated into a modern logistics platform focused on export. One of the main differentiators of the project is the focus on sustainability and technology.

The region will also be transformed into a Free Trade Zone (ZPE), which should attract new industries and further increase the generation of qualified jobs.

Supreme Court Authorizes Start of Construction After Rejecting Opposing Appeal

The last legal barrier to the project was removed in April when the Supreme Federal Court (STF) rejected the final appeal that sought to prevent the construction of Jaconé Port.

Since then, the mayor has reaffirmed that the terminal is one of the main priorities of his administration.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

The sea water temperature rose from 28 to 34 degrees in Santa Catarina and killed up to 90% of the oysters: producers who planted over 1 million seeds lost practically everything and say that if it happens again, production is doomed to end.

The most powerful ocean current on the planet transports about 100 times more water than all the rivers in the world, can exceed 2,000 km in width, and circulates continuously around Antarctica. Sediment data from over 5 million years show that recent changes are drawing the attention of scientists.

Goodbye noisy fan: Brazilians are starting to replace the traditional model with a more efficient solution that cools the environment with lower energy consumption and a cost much lower than air conditioning.

Copel boosts solar energy in Paraná and brings innovation to public schools, promoting savings on electricity bills, energy efficiency, and a direct impact on the quality of education.

The sea water temperature rose from 28 to 34 degrees in Santa Catarina and killed up to 90% of the oysters: producers who planted over 1 million seeds lost practically everything and say that if it happens again, production is doomed to end.

With almost 70 meters in width at the stern and a shape resembling a “giant slice of cheese,” the Ramform Titan tows up to 24 seismic cables to sweep the ocean floor in 3D and reveal oil reserves hidden beneath kilometers of sediment.

Gran Services announces offshore job openings for various positions in the oil and gas sector.

The Caspian Sea intrigues scientists as it is neither officially a sea nor a lake: the largest lake on the planet holds a hybrid crust, submerged cities, mud volcanoes, and billions of barrels of oil hidden at the bottom.

How a 131-ton, 11-meter propeller supports 90% of global trade and transforms the largest container ships on the planet.

With a length of 225 meters and a capacity of 76 thousand tons, this ship “sinks” its own deck down to 28 meters deep to accommodate war destroyers, oil platforms, and giant radars floating above, and then emerges with everything intact on top like a colossal tray crossing oceans.

With a length of 108 meters and a giant spoon shape, the FLIP was the only ship in the world capable of rotating 90 degrees in the ocean and remaining vertical, with 91 meters submerged, operating for 60 years until it was retired and sent to the scrapyard in 2023.
