This new phosphate port, which allows the docking of ships with a capacity of 100,000 tonnes (Post-Panamax), aims to ensure the import of raw materials necessary for the production of fertilizers at the chemical complex, as well as the export of finished products, namely phosphate, fertilizers, and phosphoric acid.
The construction phase totals one million man-days, while in the operating phase, this phosphate port will generate 400 direct and indirect jobs.
