en.Wedoany.com Reported - Carlos Luciano, Personnel Director of the Federal Port Authority (Codeba), inspected the vessels planned for restarting operations on the new São Francisco River (rio São Francisco) waterway. This is part of the agency's preparations to initiate operational activities, which depend on the formal transfer of waterway management authority to the company.

The fleet includes a barge, a CS-type vessel, a Matrichã dredger, and the hotel boat Cidade Pirapora, which is equipped with 28 cabins and can accommodate up to 80 passengers.

Under authorization from the Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor), Codeba is developing the New São Francisco River (Canal de São Francisco) project and coordinating with DNIT and the Brazilian Navy (Port Authority) to prepare all necessary documentation for transporting the vessels to Juazeiro (BA).

Carlos Luciano stated that the goal is to promote regional development, attract investments through more economical and environmentally sustainable transportation, strengthen the economic integration of the 505 municipalities affected by the waterway's resumption, and generate new development momentum for the country.

Codeba's management team is also negotiating with the São Francisco and Parnaíba Valley Development Company (Codevasf) to establish a technical cooperation agreement for joint actions, including river revitalization and the study and identification of business opportunities in areas surrounding the waterway.
