The most important impacts arising from installation and operation are related to restrictions on navigation and fishing. In the areas that will be dredged and in the sediment disposal area, there will be restrictions on fishing and additional navigation precautions during the works, for safety reasons, due to the continuous traffic of the vessels involved during these activities. When in operation, as in other ports in Brazil, in the port access channel and in the ship anchoring areas, there will also be restrictions on fishing, and Navy regulations regarding navigation safety in these areas must be followed.

The communities directly affected will have compensation and, since September 2021, monitoring of fishing landings has been carried out, that is, monitoring of fishing production in all its aspects and in each of the fishing communities in the specific fishing Influence Area, which will constitute a baseline without the port, for future comparisons, with the port. These comparisons will be used to verify future real impacts on production. Among the socio-environmental programs to mitigate these impacts are: Monitoring of Fishing Activities and Compensation of Fishing Activities.

Due to the lapse of time since the first agreement on compensatory projects, in 2015, later revalidated in 2017, in a new consultation with fishing communities due to the change in location of the Oceanic Disposition Area (ADO), resulting from the complementary studies required by Ibama for maximum protection of marine environmental assets, since September 2021, fishing communities have been discussing possible needs to review and update their Fishing Activity Compensation Plans (PCAP). This process is currently in the finalization phase (March/24), and the compensatory projects that make sense for the 04 communities of Marataízes (Boa Vista, Praia dos Cações, Pontal do Itapemirim and Barra do Itapemirim, with the latter two absorbing the landings that previously occurred in the Community of Marataízes-Sede), for 01 community of São Francisco de Itabapoana (Barra de Itabapoana) and is in the final phase of negotiation with 01 community of Presidente Kennedy (Marobá).

After the Porto Central PCAP 2024 has been agreed, with the chosen compensation projects redefined or confirmed, the next step is to detail the demands, assess possible difficulties or potentialities for implementation and then estimate the budget for the examination and planning of the company. with a view to service. The services will begin when the start of construction is completely approved by Ibama. Considering that the construction will begin with vegetation removal and then the construction relating to the installation of the construction site and other land works, the PCAP will have its service started before the beginning of the interventions at sea. Depending on the characteristics of the chosen projects, services may occur quickly, as in the case of services involving the purchase of tools and equipment, and others will occur according to a schedule, which will also be additionally agreed with the communities whose chosen projects involve works or services, whose feasibility deadlines are not entirely under the management of Porto Central, as they depend on the availability of third parties (in the case of courses for Waterways, which depend on the availability of the Navy to apply the courses, tests and issuing qualification certificates, or in case of works and installations, which depend on municipal, state and even federal licensing, depending on each case). The monitoring of progress and the discussion of alternatives, if difficulties arise in the implementation of the agreed projects, will be carried out by the PCAP Monitoring Committees of each community together with Porto Central and its contractors, until the completion and full delivery of what was committed by Porto Central.
