On Wednesday (01/18), the port project in General Câmara, studied for four years, took another important step. The Vale do Jacuí River Terminal, created to develop the project, found new investors for the project after completing negotiations with the initial interested parties.
The port project in General Câmara was launched in 2019 through Hidrovias RS, an association of entities interested in restoring waterway transport in the state. They established partnerships with municipalities to study the feasibility of installing ports. Since then, the municipality has been seeking investors.
See how it will be installed in the port project in General Câmara. The terminal will be installed in an area of 136 hectares along the Taquari River and will primarily be used for grains and containers. The project envisions the possibility of dry and refrigerated storage. The terminal will receive barges instead of larger ships, eliminating the need for dredging.
The expectation for the port project in General Câmara is that the business will generate approximately 1,000 direct and indirect jobs. The Vale do Jacuí River Terminal hired Kohlore Construtora – which has also been involved in the project since 2019 – to develop the port. Initially, the estimated investment was 70 million reais, but the current estimated value is 500 million reais.

Investment Plans Will Be Included in the Port Project in General Câmara
Moreover, according to Barreto, in the coming weeks, investment plans and technical studies will be presented to the Environmental Protection Foundation (Fepam). For the licensing, the terms of reference from Fepam are being developed for the publication of environmental impact studies and preparation of environmental impact reports (EIA/Rima). The next steps will be based on the financing plan.
The construction of the port has the potential to transform the economic mission of the city, which stands out for its logistical prowess. The city has convenient highways, railways, and waterways. Today, 70% of the ICMS comes from agriculture, as the city does not have large industries. The project aligns with the state government’s goal of developing a waterway network in Rio Grande do Sul. It will help with logistics and make the region more competitive.
