Questions often arise when a new enterprise is launched. To address these concerns, we have compiled a guide with answers to the most usual questions about the Maralto.
If you have a question not covered by the guide, please contact us at contato@maraltoterminal.com, and we will respond as soon as possible.
Who Owns Maralto?
Maralto is owned by an investment fund managed by Vinci Partners, which specializes in resource management, asset management, and financial advisory services. The fund acquired the terminal in May 2022, thus becoming the Company’s sole controller and manager.
What Is the Project’s Current Stage?
The complete project development process comprises licensing, planning, and execution phases.
Compliance with regulatory and environmental legislation has been secured via Federal Government with Adhesion Contract #04/2014 (which appoints the responsible parties in charge of the enterprise). In addition, IBAMA has issued the preliminary license #376/2010, a document related to the planning stage approving the project’s location, conception, and environmental feasibility, establishing requirements to be met in the following stages, as well as the installation license #1059/2015.
In addition, the operating license must be further obtained, provided that the requirements for the installation license issued by IBAMA are met.
The construction of a highway and a macro drainage channel – currently in the planning and licensing phase – will improve urban mobility in Pontal by speeding up traffic and medical emergency services, improving pedestrian safety, and serving as an access route to the marine terminal. It is, therefore, a requirement for starting Maralto’s cargo handling operations.
How Will Labor Be Hired During the Construction And Operation Phases?
The project is expected to generate up to 1,500 direct jobs during the installation phase and up to 7,500 jobs in the operational phase (1,500 direct and 6,000 indirect) in sectors such as commerce, lodging, and services.
To fill these vacancies, and as part of Maralto’s commitment to regional development, hiring local labor will be a priority. Therefore, the Company will invest in partnerships to train ever-increasing qualified professionals.
How Can I Get a Job at The Terminal, and Who Should I Send My Resumé To?
From construction to setting up its full port operations, Maralto will demand experienced professionals with diverse competencies, such as information technology, administration, logistics, and port operations.
Each phase will require specific professional profiles. When the hiring period begins – both in the construction phase and during operations – the Company will announce job openings on its Facebook and LinkedIn pages and other social media.
Candidates must apply through the channels announced in due course for each new selection process. As of now, no vacancies or selection processes are open.
What Measures Has the Company Taken to Preserve The Environment and The Communities?
Respect for the environment and local populations is one of the project’s core values and a commitment assumed by Maralto, the community, partners, customers, and the government.
That is why all implementation and operation stages have been and will continue to be based on careful planning and detailed technical studies assessing the potential impacts and proposing solutions to meet the requirements of the regulatory bodies.
To obtain the environmental license, Maralto has prepared a Basic Environmental Plan with IBAMA, outlining more than 20 programs covering aspects such as air and water quality, noise, and the preservation of the region’s fauna and flora. In addition to these initiatives – divided into control, mitigation, monitoring, and compensation measures – programs have been developed for local communities with the participation of licensing agencies such as Funai, IPHAN, ICMBio, and IAT.
