Rio de Janeiro, May 8, 2019 – Açu Port Operations and the Chinese port of Guangzhou signed a Cooperation Agreement today aimed at sharing best practices and knowledge in port operation and management, as well as strengthening cooperation in investments and business development. The agreement enables the establishment of a strategic relationship between the ports, contributing to the exchange of innovative technologies and improving cargo flows between the two ports.

Narrowing relationships with Asian countries is part of the company’s strategy to connect Brazil to world-class ports that share the same characteristics as Açu, such as state-of-the-art infrastructure and logistical efficiency. “The partnership with the Port of Guangzhou, which is the 5th largest in the world, recognizes Açu’s potential and its differentiators. We are an industrial port in operation, capable of receiving large vessels and with available back areas for the installation of industries.

In addition, we have logistical efficiency to bring Brazil’s main production centers closer to the growing demands of China and other Asian countries,” said Tessa Major, Commercial Director of Açu Port Operations.

The signing of the agreement, which was attended by the Consul General of Brazil in Guangzhou, Pedro Murilo Ortega Terra, took place during the 31st World Ports Conference 2019. The conference is held annually by the IAPH (International Association of Ports and Harbors) and gathers representatives from port authorities around the world.

This year, the event is taking place at the Guangzhou Convention Center and features the participation of over a thousand representatives from port administration and companies worldwide.
