The National Agency for Waterway Transportation (Antaq) held a public hearing to receive contributions, subsidies and suggestions on the technical and legal documents related to the lease of area VDC04, located in the Organized Port of Vila do Conde (PA). In total, 17 people registered and ten participated in the session with comments.
The Agency’s Director General, Federico Dias, highlighted that “this is the moment when we present the entire project to society, promoting transparency, as well as gathering information that can improve the proposal”.
Dias also highlighted the strategic importance of the project for national logistics. According to him, as one of the world’s largest agricultural producers, Brazil depends on fertilizer imports. “This is a strategic terminal that directly contributes to reducing the logistics costs of agribusiness, one of the main drivers of the Brazilian economy”, concluded the Director General.
With an area of 39,000 square meters, the VDC04 terminal will be used for handling and storing solid bulk mineral cargo, mainly fertilizers. This terminal is considered important for the logistics of the Northern Region due to its location at the exit of the Arco Norte. The project provides for a lease agreement with a duration of 25 years.
