Brasília, 11/11/2026 – The period for contributions to Public Hearing No. 08/2026 of the National Waterway Transportation Agency (ANTAQ) is now open. This hearing aims to improve the rules for circularization, blocking, and chartering of vessels in cabotage and maritime support navigation. The public consultation began on Monday (9) and continues until December 24.
The proposal foresees changes to ANTAQ Resolutions No. 129/2025 and No. 62/2021, with adjustments to the criteria, deadlines, procedures, and infractions related to these activities.
Users, companies in the waterway sector, and other interested parties can submit suggestions until 11:59 PM on December 24, 2026. Contributions must be sent exclusively through the electronic form available on ANTAQ's Public Hearings and Consultations page, in the section designated for Public Hearing No. 08/2026.
The drafts and technical documents supporting the proposal are also available for consultation on the Agency's portal.
Webinar and Public Hearing
To present the proposal, clarify doubts, and broaden the dialogue with interested parties, a webinar will be held on November 17, at 3 PM, broadcast live on ANTAQ's YouTube channel.
During the meeting, the main points of the normative proposal will be presented, allowing participants to better understand the topic and clarify doubts before submitting their contributions.
The date and time of the public hearing session, intended to broaden the discussion on the proposal, will be announced opportunely through the Agency's official channels.
How to Participate
Contributions must specifically address the drafts submitted for public consultation and be sent via the electronic form by the deadline.
If it is necessary to attach digital images, files can be sent to the email anexo_audiencia082026@antaq.gov.br, with participant identification. Text suggestions, however, must be registered directly in the form.
