Port of Natal is granted environmental license after 9 years since process began

On June 17, the Institute for Sustainable and Environmental Development (Idema) issued the Operation Regularization License (LRO) for the Port of Natal, administered by Companhia Docas do Rio Grande do Norte (CODERN).  The process of obtaining the license began in 2011. Over the years, several studies, documents, technical analyzes, and requests have been carried out in order to make attaining the license possible.  “This environmental licensing will provide us with more security to attract new customers,” says CODERN’s CEO, Elis TreidlerÖberg.

Currently managed by the Companhia Docas do Rio Grande do Norte (CODERN), the Port of Natal is the largest in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, and therefore very important for the region. In the first four months of 2020, the port was responsible for 24% of Brazil’s total fruit exports via maritime.

DataLiner data shows that between January-April 2020, the port exported 5,864 TEU. The main products exported during the period were melons, watermelons, and fresh papayas, reaching 3,179.4 TEU, followed by pineapples, dates, and figs at 1,144 TEU.
