The Superintendency of the Port of Itajaí, as Port Authority, had its Environmental Operating License (LAO) 2610/2019 extended for another two years. The document, whose term would initially end on May 14, 2023, was granted by the Santa Catarina Institute of the Environment (IMA-SC). The IMA monitored several environmental activities throughout the term of the LAO, which found good enough results to be nationally recognized in Antaq’s Environmental Development Index (1st place) for the fourth consecutive year and be awarded 1st place at the Ministry of Infrastructure’s Via Viva 2022 award at the public port category. The Environmental License is an administrative measure by which the competent body approves the location, installation, and operation of a given asset as a possible polluter subject to regulations and legal provisions applicable to the case.
