After Announcement of Production Doubling at Carajás Serra Sul, Vale is Already Studying Construction of Port and Railway in Pará to Meet Increased Demand
Yesterday (06/18), the mining company Vale announced that it is planning to build a railway and a port in Pará to accommodate a possible expansion of the production capacity at Carajás Serra Sul, to 150 million tons per year.
With a length of 400 km, the railway will connect the Carajás Railway (EFC) to the Vila do Conde Port and will help with the challenging shipment from the Ponta da Madeira Port, in Maranhão, which is currently used by Vale to export the ore from its largest mine.
A month ago, Vale announced studies to double production (after 2020) at Serra Sul of Carajás, in Pará, where the giant S11D mine is located in Canaã dos Carajás (PA), to 150 million tons of iron ore per year.

Investments in Northern Brazil
The expansion of activities in northern Brazil by the mining company Vale was announced at a time when several of the company’s operations are halted in Minas Gerais due to the condition of its dams.
The announcement also comes a month after Vale signed an agreement with the Chinese company CCCC (China Communications Construction Company) for the implementation of a steel mill in Marabá, also in Pará.
During the signing of the agreement, neither the Chinese nor Vale were able to inform where the steel to be used in the mill would come from, which led the president of the National Institute of Steel Distributors (Inda), Carlos Loureiro, to state that he believes the project would need to export using Vale’s mineral infrastructure.
It is speculated that the railway to be built should be used to bring the steel to be processed and then export the product, but Vale did not clarify how this logistics will work.
