Port of Niterói records historic sales record in 2020

With a month to go until the end of the year, Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ) reported that it set a new annual revenue record in the Port of Niterói. The accumulated total of revenues, from January to November 2020, reached the mark of R$ 7,295,867, a value that is already 9.8% higher than in 2019 and higher than all previous years in the history of the port. Revenues come from public tariffs (58%) and leases (42%).

The Operations Manager of the Port of Niterói, Aline Moriggi, explained the positive result, obtained even during the pandemic: “In this atypical year, we took a series of measures to guarantee the continuity of operations and the safety of workers. Despite the loss of fixed revenues resulting from the renewal of lease contracts, the new businesses in the offshore market coupled with the increase in variable revenues and the dedication of everyone involved in the logistics chain ensured the good performance of the port”.

The Port of Niterói has a strategic location in Guanabara Bay and has become a logistics base in support of offshore activities. The main cargoes handled at the port are supplies, parts, and equipment that cover this segment. Focused on national and international oil and gas companies operating in the country, the two terminals leased by the companies Nitshore Engenharia e Serviços Portatórios and Nitport Serviços Portuário meet the demands of support, manufacturing, and repair, aimed at modules for drilling platforms and/or production.

In addition to the leased terminals, the management of the Port of Niterói also charges public fees for vessels that access shipyards around the port. The result achieved this year demonstrates the resilience of the oil and gas market, facing a year of great challenges. “We hope to achieve greater results in 2021, considering the potential that the market has shown,” said Leandro Lima, superintendent of Port Management in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói.
