Port of Açu, developed and operated by Prumo Logística, will participate in Intermodal South America 2017, to be held on April 4-6, at the Transamérica Expo Center, in São Paulo. The fair is the largest logistics and international trade event in Latin America.
In booth 5-124, visitors will learn details of the Açu Port Complex, the largest port-industry complex in Brazil, which is already providing a unique port and industrial solution in the country. Through interactive and audiovisual tools, visitors will be able to browse all areas of the Industrial Complex and check out operations currently executed on the iron ore, oil and Multicargo (T-MULT) terminals.
Visitors will also learn more about companies that operate in the Port Complex, such as BP Prumo (Prumo-BP partnership to distribute marine fuel), Edison Chouest (developer and operator of the world’s largest offshore support base, located on the enterprise), NOV and Technip FMC units (manufacturers of flexible pipes for the oil & gas industry), and InterMoor (provider of anchoring services).
Another advantage of the Açu Port Complex is the development of an Export Processing Zone (ZPE), a free trade area designed to house companies that export 80% of their output. The ZPE is located on the port’s area and may benefit industries related to coffee and ornamental rocks, among others.
The Açu Port Complex has been operating since October 2014 and currently employs about 4,000 workers. Prumo and companies that operate there have invested about 12 billion reais on the enterprise.
