The Institute of the Environment (IMA) is currently reviewing the preliminary study for the proposed Liquid Bulk Terminal in Itajaí. With a budget of R$ 315 million, the terminal’s construction is projected to take three years and create 200 job opportunities during this period. The liquid bulk terminal will serve as a hub for the reception, storage, and distribution of fuel and chemical products. The investment comes from Elcano. The proposed terminal’s implementation is divided into four phases, accommodating up to 17 storage tanks for liquid bulk, including fuels such as gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, and ethanol, as well as various chemical products. The terminal will feature a mooring berth capable of receiving liquid bulk vessels up to 55,000 dwt, with a capacity to transport around 350,000 barrels of products.
