Porto do Açu is exempt from regulator fees;

Porto do Açu will use non-unionized labor, which is more efficient and less prone to interruptions;

As a private port, Porto do Açu acts as its own Port Authority, effectively performing maintenance or dredging when required and without delay.

Chinese steel consumption will continue to grow at very high levelsChina currently consumes approximately 35% of the world’s steel production, with that figure expected to rise to 52% in 2016 (1);
