In partnership with other organizations, the National Waterway Transportation Agency (Antaq) is inspecting fourteen solid bulk terminals in the Organized Port of Santos, Private Use Terminals (TUP) included, between April 25th and 29th. Antaq’s Operation Porto Limpo has several goals, including assessing the hygiene and cleanliness of port activities and verifying compliance with best practices in reducing the growth of synanthropic fauna (comprised of animal species that interact negatively with the human population). In case of non-compliance, Antaq must issue a NOCI (Notification of Correction of Irregularity) or draw up an Infraction Act, informing the terminal. At the end of the inspection, the inspected party will receive the inspection report with a checklist breakdown. Port operators that handle solid bulk and areas managed by Companhia Docas de São Sebastião (SP) will also be inspected by Operação Porto Limpo.
