Work advances on the new port in ES

The new Port of Imetame is already under construction in Aracruz in the state of Espírito Santo. The work began in July this year, after the last environmental license was obtained, and continues at an accelerated pace: half of the north breakwater has been completed.

With a depth of 17 meters, the port will allow the state to receive large ships with drafts of up to 16.5 m, both for containers (ships 366 m in length) and for bulk vegetables, the Capesize ships that, when used, operate with limitations in the ports on the Brazilian coast. It is worth remembering that the maximum operational draft at the Port of Santos is 14.5 m and at the Port of Itaguaí (RJ), it is 15.4 m.

Based on the operation of the Port of Imetame, Espírito Santo will be a competitive alternative for production flows to the area of ​​influence of the Center-East corridor.

“In the case of soybeans and agricultural bulk in general, it will enable a more competitive logistics chain for producers in Minas Gerais and Goiás, mainly with large ships, the Capesizes, serving the route to Asia. For fueling, the dredging to 25 meters will permit a safe terminal for the transshipment of oil to very large crude carriers (VLCC) that export”, explains the CEO of Imetame Porto Aracruz, Cristiane Marsillac.
