The industrial deep-sea port was chosen by PAI, among other reasons, because of its strategic location near oil and gas fields and its proximity to Minas Gerais, the gateway to Brazil.<\/p>\n
PAI will receive 1,176% of the share capital in the investment, and also has the opportunity to invest additionally after 18 months at its sole discretion.<\/p>\n
It will also appoint one member of the board of directors and four managers of the Port of A\u00e7u, as well as providing consultancy services.<\/p>\n
The port, which handles oil, gas, dry bulk, containers and general cargo, also serves as a support centre for the Brazilian offshore sector because of its proximity to the Campos Basin.<\/p>\n
It has a surface of 130 km\u00b2, 40 km\u00b2 of which is natural reserve, and also has the potential to operate 17 kilometres of dock with a maximum depth of 25 metres.<\/p>\n
It also has the capacity to receive very large vessels including capesizes and VLCCs.<\/p>\n
Construction of the port complex began in 2007 and the first operations commenced in 2014.<\/p>\n
PAI, a subsidiary of the Antwerp Port Authority, was created in order to participate and invest in overseas ports and port-related projects in strategic regions, as part of the port\u2019s foreland policy.<\/p>\n
