“It is with great satisfaction that we host this very important meeting for the port sector at the Port of Açu, which unites its main authorities and regulatory bodies with the unique goal of reflecting on everyone’s commitment to energy transition and best environmental practices. Hosting the discussion of a cutting-edge topic shows the potential of Açu not only for regional economic development but also to foster strategic discussions for the sector,” pointed out Caio Cunha, Port Relations Manager at Reserva Caruara.

During the meeting, a memorandum of understanding was also signed between ANTAQ and ATP, officializing the entry of private terminals into CooperaPortos, with the aim of promoting dialogue and disseminating best practices among the multiple actors in port management.

“The entry of private terminals into CooperaPortos through the cooperation agreement we celebrated at this meeting will only add to and further strengthen our forum. We are very optimistic about bringing together so many important actors on the Sustainability agenda at the Port of Açu, which already promises to be one of the pioneers in offshore wind in the country, in line with our objectives. It is a historic moment for us,” asserted Eduardo Nery, General Director of ANTAQ.

“This adhesion is very positive for all ATP members. The TUPs have a strong desire to work together for Sustainability and exchange best practices. We will certainly bring a significant contribution to CooperaPortos,” guaranteed Murillo Barbosa, Chief Executive Officer of ATP.
