PortosRio issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on March 22 (Wednesday) with the aim of hiring a qualified company to carry out dredging operations and widening the access channel to the Port of Rio de Janeiro. This also highlights that in a possible recovery of the shipbuilding industry, thousands of people will be employed in oil and gas exploration positions, according to a Petrobras representative.

The goal of the Port Authority is to allow the docking of New Panamax class ships, with a length overall (LOA) of 366 meters or less.

Following a potential recovery of the shipbuilding industry, thousands of people will be employed in oil and gas exploration positions, according to a Petrobras representative.

What Justifies These Works and Investments at the Port of Rio de Janeiro

This is the main project for PortosRio to date for two reasons: it represents a new magnitude of investment values made by the Port Authority with its own resources, and it is essential for maintaining the competitiveness of Rio de Janeiro’s container terminals at the Port of Rio de Janeiro, according to acting CEO Jean Paulo Castro e Silva.

The hiring reflects the company’s commitment to increasing cash generation and reinvesting it in improvements and expansion of infrastructure, boosting regional and national economies. These ideas also align with the current president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, who reinforced the intention of new investments in the Brazilian shipbuilding industry for the construction of support vessels.

According to Leandro Lima, Superintendent of Port Management for Rio de Janeiro and Niterói, this dredging is part of a portfolio of projects by the Port Authority, focusing on providing better infrastructure conditions for port users and, consequently, enabling a reduction in the costs of port operations and the logistics chain as a whole.

With these improvements, the Port of Rio de Janeiro will be able to accommodate the largest container ships destined for South America, opening new opportunities for trade in Brazil.
