The request to Antaq to accommodate the new cargo profile aims to optimize the use of the facility, taking advantage of the idle berths for ship docking.
Approximately R$ 8 million will be invested in the new project, where a STS maintenance warehouse will be built, equipment purchased, and environmental, engineering, maneuverability studies conducted, along with compliance with regulations.
For the new undertaking, it will not be necessary to alter or expand the port’s facilities, which are equipped to dock Suezmax type vessels.
The handling of oil and derivatives via long-distance navigation was done through 23 waterway terminals from January to April.
