US$ 10 Million Has Already Been Invested in the Newest Ambitious Venture of the Port of Açu That Is Under Discussion

The Port of Açu is one of the most audacious and visionary port complexes in recent times in Brazil, and there is no doubt about it. Now it wants to go further and install its own oil refinery within the venture. This is not speculation; in fact, its partner from Belgium has already invested an amount of US$ 10 million to move the project forward, in exchange for increasing its stake in the future venture.

It is worth remembering that the Port of Açu is located in the city of São João da Barra, in the North of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and was conceived by businessman Eike Batista at the time, who was responsible for LLX. After some time, LLX changed and became Prumo Logística, which is a subsidiary of EIG (an American group). José Magela, who is currently the president of Prumo, was interviewed and revealed that the Port of Açu is ready to be expanded in an unprecedented way, and the oil and gas industry is its flagship in this endeavor.

Nowadays, the port complex has 11 fully operational companies and over 90 km² of integrated industrial area, with 80 km still available for construction and investment in new projects. He emphasized, however, that the competition with Comperj in Itaboraí is complementary and will only fill part of the demand for fuels; there will be a market for everyone! The Port Complex of Açu is the largest in its category in Latin America and could soon become the most important in Brazil.

Among the main activities of the port, the highlights are in the offshore area, export of ores, thermoelectric, companies, and factories.
