With this initiative, CODEBA reaffirms its commitment to the socioeconomic development of the region, boosting the industrial and agricultural sectors, which depend directly on the port’s logistical efficiency.
The project also fosters new business opportunities and generates direct and indirect jobs, strengthening the local economy.
The dredging work, estimated to be worth around R$ 20 million, underwent rigorous procedures to guarantee navigation safety, operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
