President Kennedy’s position is strategic for the consolidation of Porto Central as a hub for receiving and distributing cargo through the different modes that access it, connecting to the main international routes.

The area chosen for the development of Porto Central was also previously identified by the National Waterway Transport Agency (Antaq), in the General Plan of Authorizations for the Port Sector, as a priority and ideal for the installation of a deep water port.

The Municipality of Presidente Kennedy and its surroundings are areas with low population density, with a prevalence of rural areas, part of which is used for pasture. Geographically, it has flat areas suitable for the development of port infrastructure and other synergistic projects. It is also considered the ideal location for renewable energy generation projects, given its excellent solar and wind conditions.

President Kennedy has financial resources and a strategic interest in adding value to businesses in the oil and gas production chain, through the implementation of the necessary public infrastructure, such as roads, public lighting, schools, sanitation, health centers, public services, etc., important for welcoming Porto Central and increasing the quality of life of its population. The municipality is located in the State of Espírito Santo, which has a natural vocation for infrastructure and logistics.
