But What Are EPZ’s and How Do They Work?
As the name suggests, these are places where free trade with other countries occurs, aimed at companies focused on productivity and the export of goods and services. As an industrial resource that has functioned in other places, these Export Processing Zones typically generate jobs, add innovative technologies, make the country more competitive in this service modality, attract new investors from various market segments, and generate significant revenues for the city where they are located and for the Union.
In early 2014, Prumo Logística took over the project and changed the focus of the venture. The original idea of the primary project creator at the time, Eike Batista, was to install steel mills, shipyards for OGX, and a factory for electric cars; however, as he was arrested due to the Lava Jato operations, none of this came to fruition. Today, the main activities of Porto do Açu are focused on the transportation of minerals, oil transportation, and support for vessels and offshore units in the oil and gas industry.
It is worth noting that the Porto do Açu will have an independent Thermoelectric Plant, as Prumo and British BP signed a contract last week for the construction and commercialization of this project, and work can begin at any time. Read the full article.
