Port of Vitória will receive liquid bulk terminal

The Ministry of Infrastructure, through the National Secretariat of Ports and Waterways Transport and CODESA, and the Navegantes Logística Consortium signed, on December 16, in Brasilia, the Vix 30 Area contract for the implementation of the Liquid Bulk Terminal (LBT) in Capuaba, Vila Velha.

The signing of the contract was attended by the National Secretary of Ports, Diogo Piloni, CODESA President Julio Castiglioni, Director Bruno Fardin, and Superintendent Anderson Polido, representatives of the consortium and Antaq’s Director General, Mário Povia.

Community

The consortium must still comply with all the requirements of the environmental agencies to start the works. Similarly, the environmental licensing process will be discussed with the surrounding community of Capuaba. Both are requirements of the LBT deployment.

The Navegantes consortium, formed by the companies Raízen, Ipiranga, and BR Distribuidora, won the bid at an auction held on the São Paulo Stock Exchange – B3, in March this year, for R$165m. The lease will be for 25 years and the investments to implement the terminal will be around R$128m.

Capacity

The Vix 30 will be built in an area of 74,100 square meters, called greenfield – without physical structure – and entered as a priority of the Federal Government Investment Partnership program.

The terminal will be intended for the storage of diesel, gasoline, alcohol, and biodiesel. The tank capacity will be 60,000 m³ and will serve the Espírito Santo fuel market.

It is expected that during the implementation, the terminal will generate 450 direct and indirect jobs and, at the beginning of operations, about 300 direct and indirect jobs.
