City in Espírito Santo takes another step towards Porto Central coming onstream

The mayor of Presidente Kennedy, located on the South Coast of Espírito Santo, signed a technical cooperation agreement with Porto Central on May 27. The agreement was one of the conditions stipulated by the Brazilian Environment and Renewable Natural Resources Institute (Ibama) in relation to the implantation of Porto Central in the municipality.

Porto Central is a private port project, owned by TPK Logística S.A, which belongs to the Polimix Organization. Its port management model will be based on the Port of Rotterdam (Netherlands).  The terminal will handle several types of cargo such as liquid bulk, oil, oil derivatives, chemicals, solid bulk, iron ore, coal, and pig iron, in addition to soy, corn, wheat, and other agricultural products. It will also deal with fertilizers and vehicles.

Porto Central will also be able to move containers and because of this, it will have 30 berths. The draft will vary from 10 to 25 meters, which will allow large vessels to access the facility. The project will be implemented in four stages. The first stage will cost around R$1.5 billion, with the other three costing around R$5 billion.
