The Port of Imbituba is authorized to contract the Executive Design and carry out the works for the rehabilitation and structural reinforcement of the breakwater. The funds, totaling R$90.5 million, will be transferred by the Secretariat of Ports, Airports and Railways (SPAF), which has signed a Commitment Agreement with the Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor), to the Port Authority, which will be responsible for executing the works.

“The project to be carried out at the Port of Imbituba is one of the infrastructure initiatives submitted to the Federal Government. It is an important project that has been planned for a long time and will ensure the safety of port operations. The planning and preparation carried out by the Port’s management were essential for it to be selected by the MPor,” said SPAF Secretary Beto Martins.

The bidding process for contracting the works is in the final stage of approval, and it is expected that Governor Jorginho Mello will sign the Notice to Proceed in January 2026.
