Silvio Costa Filho, Minister of Ports and Airports, was present when the Southern Port building contract was signed in Arroio do Sal, Rio Grande do Sul. With over BRL 1.3 billion investment, the project is expected to create around 2,000 direct and 5,000 indirect jobs. By boosting the state’s logistics output – particularly for bulk products (both liquid and dry) and container transportation – the project seeks to make Rio Grande do Sul a significant participant in the port business. The port is positioned deliberately to increase export competitiveness and attract investments.
