The Delay In Tepor’s Works In Macaé
The new Macaé port project has been dragging since 2016 and, only at the end of 2019, received the Preliminary Environmental License, approved by the State Commission for Environmental Control (CECA) and by Inea.
The document approved the location and conception of the terminal, and the next step was just the installation license for the start of the works. The port was a longing of the business community in Macaé, as it meets the demand of the support industry for oil and gas activities, as well as other logistics sectors.
The expected date for Tepor to start its operations was in 2022 and to be in full swing by 2030, but due to the delay, the dates are now uncertain.
New Port In Macaé Will Cover An Area Equivalent To 6 Million Square Meters
The land area of Tepor can reach up to 6 million square meters, with bonded warehouses and storage yards.
The project calls for two terminals, one for oil storage and the other for fuels with a capacity of 420,000 cubic meters. The structure of Terminal A is 16.5 meters deep and includes two berths: one for liquids to be transferred through pipelines to the onshore terminal and the other to receive LNG cargo.
Terminal B is focused on oil movement and will also have two berthing berths, with a depth of 27 meters to accommodate VLCC ships.
