The secretary stated that “the Port of Tubarão (ES) faces constant congestion, leading ships to wait 17 days to dock, increasing costs for transporting goods.”
Delmo also emphasized that, according to the research conducted, the Port of Açu is developing energy projects for natural gas power generation, which could lead to local fertilizer production, impacting the railway system to ensure freight in the region and the evolution of agricultural products exported.
Other Logistical Projects:
Another action by the government of Rio de Janeiro wishes to expand the railway logistics in the state and seeks federal government assistance for MRS Logística in its initial renewal project, including the implementation of a rail branch between the city of Nova Iguaçu and the Petrochemical Complex of Comperj, located in Itaboraí.
Pinho added that “this is the most important moment in 30 years for the infrastructure of the State of Rio, which will define our future. We must invest in what is structural.”
