Last Friday, June 18, the Port of Recife received authorization to bid for the anchorage dredging work.

The prosecutor’s opinion concludes that Porto do Recife S.A. will carry out the bidding in accordance with Law No. 13.303 (public companies law). With the release of the bidding by the Federal District agencies, the funds should be transferred this week to the Recife anchorage that will prepare the bidding documents for the dredging work, the supervision of the work, and the environmental monitoring necessary. The state government and federal government signed a Term of Commitment with DNIT (the national department of transport infrastructure) at the end of 2019 to execute the dredging works for the berth.
