en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Brazilian government has announced an investment of 875.9 million reais (approximately $175 million) to expand and renovate the passenger terminal of the Manaus Moderna Terminal in Amazonas state. The project is led by the Ministry of Ports and Airports, in partnership with the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (Dnit), with funding from the federal program "New Growth Acceleration Program" (Novo PAC). Construction is expected to be completed by 2029, at which point the terminal's annual passenger handling capacity will increase to 3.5 million.

The existing structure has been adjusted over the years to accommodate passenger flow growth, but it can no longer meet the functional demands of the Manaus Moderna Terminal as the region's main waterway gateway. The new construction will reorganize vessel traffic flow, modernize boarding and disembarkation areas, and enhance safety and comfort for river transport users. New facilities include floating docks, movable bridges, boarding and disembarkation piers, operational areas, parking lots, sewage treatment stations, substations, and supporting solutions focused on accessibility and safety.

Otto Burlier, National Secretary of Waterways and Shipping at the Ministry of Ports and Airports, stated in a press release that rivers form the backbone of life in the Amazon region, and investing in the Manaus Moderna Terminal is a direct investment in people's mobility, providing more safety, comfort, and dignity for those who depend on navigation every day.
