SAO PAULO: The start of operations of Brazil’s Sudeste port in Rio de Janeiro state, which is planned to play an important role in minerals and metals exports, has once again been delayed, this time because port operators are waiting for a navy permit, port operators said here the other day.
No date has been publicly set for the start of port operations.
“The final stage [to Porto Sudeste starts operation] is sea channel access authorization from the Brazilian Navy,” port operators said in a statement. “Upon necessary approvals Porto Sudeste will be ready for first shipment.”
