The main access for large vessels at the Port of Rio de Janeiro now has a protocol to reduce the risk of damage of the new and modern buoys articulated submersibles, as to preserve the newly installed nautical signage in the Cotunduba Canal. The measures to be taken by the port authority are the ones that follow: signs warning about the prohibition of access to the buoys; a motion detection mechanism in the Water Access Management (Gerqua) and the Port Security; physical barriers to prevent access to the buoys articulated submersibles lanterns; and awareness raising campaigns to improve the focus on better outcomes with the maritime community. In addition, the protocol provides greater agility of communication with the Captaincy of the Ports of Rio de Janeiro (CPRJ), as to restrain acts of vandalism in system of buoyage.
