Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN), Brazil’s third-largest steel group, has indicated an interest in the proposed iron ore export port at Itaguai, in Rio de Janeiro state. At a press conference, the company declared, “We are preparing ourselves to take part in this deal.”
A tender for the project is expected to be issued later this year and is of particular interest to CSN given that the company already operates Tecar port close to the proposed site, where it exports iron ore and imports coal.
