The National Waterway Transportation Agency (ANTAQ) and the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) signed the contract to structure the concession projects for the waterways of the Tocantins and Tapajós rivers.

This signing takes place within the scope of the Technical Cooperation Agreement (ACT), between the institutions, for the selection of companies that will prepare the Technical, Economic and Environmental Feasibility Studies (EVTEAs), signed in July 2024. This partnership aims to enhance navigation and transport efficiency in the region. The study will assess the feasibility of private sector involvement in managing and improving the waterways.
