Madeira River Waterway concession

project in planning

The project involves the concession of the Madeira River waterwayin Rondônia, Brazil.The Madeira River Waterway covers the stretch between Porto Velho and its mouth, covering the states of Rondônia and Amazonas, with an extension of 1,075 km. With the concession, it will be possible to avoid fuel shortages and reduce the risk of product shortages in Rondônia to almost zero. This is because the Madeira River Waterway is responsible for transporting these inputs to the state. The Madeira River Waterway is also a key route for the flow of grain production from the states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia, as well as for the movement of passengers in the region. In addition, under the project, the waterway will mainly transport soybeans; corn; liquid bulk and fuels; vehicles; fertilizers; containers; and other general cargo.
