Port of Niteri NITSHORE Location Rio de Janeiro

Port of Niterói - NITSHORE Location – Rio de Janeiro / Brazil

Available Areas � 1, 350 � 750 m² of indoor warehouse m² of bonded area � 20, 000 m² of outdoor area � 250, 000 m² of outdoor area in Guaxindiba

History � The federal government, in 1925, let the state of Rio de Janeiro built and explore the Port of Niterói. � After being administrated from 1960 by the State Department of Navigation – Portobrás (Company of Brazil’s Ports) took the concession and stated running the port � In 2005, Nitshore signed a contract of concession to explore the port activities in Niterói. Great development with heavy investments was the goal to build a modern port together with new growing market in the oil business in the State.

Logistics Services � Dedicated and programmed logistics services � Operational area coordination � Entrance and exit – Warehouse � Load and unload of trucks � Maritime communication � Operational control � Tubular storage control � Container storage control

Bonded Area Services � Importation � Agility and exportation on clearance of the cargoes

International Standards Being Implemented � ISO 9001/2000 – Quality � OSHAS 18001/1999 – Safety and Health � ISO 14001/2004 – Environment: ISO 14001: 2004 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified to. It does not state requirements for environmental performance, but maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system � � - The benefits of using ISO 14001: 2004 can include: Reduced cost of waste management Savings in consumption of energy and materials Lower distribution costs Improved corporate image among regulators, customers and the public

Environment Protection Center � Nitshore has a Environment Protecton Center from Alpina Briggs in alert 24/7 and ready to deal with any environmental problem. � And Nitshore has all the environmental licenses (Operational, Instalation and firestation licenses)

Equipments � 1 Crane – 200 tons � 2 Cranes – 115 tons � 4 Forklifts – 13 tons � 4 Forklifts – 7 tons � 2 Forklifts – 8 tons � 2 Forklifts – 2. 5 tons � 150 Containers

RIMA (Environmental Impacts Report) � The following aspects aborded will show what concerns the Port of Niterói must consider for the port’s activities: ◦ Environmental Diagnosis ◦ Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ◦ Environmental Programs Proposition

For Any Activity the Port Consider: � Implementation phase � Operational phase Implementation Operational Construction place Layout Noises and Vibration Atmospheric Emissions Infrastructure Artificial Luminosity Emissions Traffic of ships Water Consumption Solid Wastes Drainage Process Fuel Foundations Buildings Equipment Transportation Energy Consumed Area of Prohibited Fishing Environmental Concerns PHASE

Environmental Diagnosis � Physical Environment ◦ ◦ � Wheater changes Oceanography Morph dynamics and sedimentary study of Beaches Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport Modeling Marine Environmental Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Temperature, salinity, conductivity Turbidity Suspended solids Nutrients (total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate and phosphorus total) ◦ p. H ◦ Total organic carbon ◦ Coliform metals (Arsenic, Lead, Copper, Chromium, Mercury, Nickel and Zinc). ◦ ◦ ◦

� Water ◦ ◦ Resources Superficial water resources Underground water resources Sensibility of contamination Relation among superficial, underground and other waters � Geology and Geomorphology ◦ Environmental studies should contain a geological, geomorphological characterization in the Area of Direct Influence ◦ Soil - Indication of the most likely to suffer erosion classes, and stability analysis of soils ◦ Physical and chemical analysis of the different types of soils present in the area of influence of the project.

� Socioeconomic � Noise Levels � Luminosity � Biotic Environment Dispersion Levels Environment ◦ terrestrial ecosystem ◦ aquatic ecosystem ◦ Impacts in fauna and flora

Environmental Impacts Analysis � Direct and indirect impacts � Beneficial and adverse impacts (positive and negative) � Temporary and permanent impacts � Reversible and irreversible impacts � Local, regional and strategic impacts � Impacts of small, medium and large magnitude ◦ The most important thing is try to improve and follow some stantardized processes to acquire the desired sustainable processes, some examples of standards are shown in the following tables:
