PORTO VELHO RAMPS UP EFFORTS FOR BI-OCEANIC CORRIDOR

The Port of Porto Velho strengthened its integration into the bi-oceanic corridor, which will connect Rondônia to the Pacific and Asia, by welcoming a Chilean group interested in logistical collaboration. The Society of Ports and Waterways of Rondônia (Soph) detailed planned investments to expand the terminal’s capacity and highlighted the critical role of the upcoming Madeira Waterway concession in securing the state’s competitive edge in global trade. Governor Marcos Rocha underscored ongoing structural upgrades to bolster agricultural exports and access new markets. Soph’s president, Fernando Parente, pointed to the efficiency and sustainability of waterways, noting that a single 30-ship convoy can transport 2,000 tons of soy, removing 1,500 trucks from the roads.
