During a teleconference for presentation of 2011 results, one of the highlights presented by LLX (LLXL3) was the finish of technical studies for requalification of the railroad that will connect the Super-Port of Açu to the region of Ambaí, Nova Iguaçu, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
In August 2011, the company signed with FCA (Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica) a term of agreement for these studies, which were completed in December last year, according to Otávio Lazcano, CEO of the company. “LLX and FCA are committed in this subject. We are already discussing with the Federal government and the state government of Rio de Janeiro to achieve legal approval for the project,” stated Lazcano.
The existing section of approximately 350 km requires investments and is the initial portion of the Transcontinental (EF 354) railroad. The railroad section will connect the Super-Port of Açu to the national railroad network, which concentrates near 75% of Brazil’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
