The Monthly Short-Term contract modality will be offered between the 23rd and 24th of March. The acquisition of this product covers the period between April and December of this year.

POC - Capacity Booking Platform

All contracts for the 4th Open Season Round for Short-Term Products must be made through the POC, at the electronic address: www.ofertadecapacidade.com.br.  Since the beginning of March, the Capacity Booking Portal has gained a new version to increase agility through a more dynamic navigation format resulting in natural gas transport services capacity contracts. The website was upgraded - a reorganization of information and product categorization, to facilitate access to the Integrated Natural Gas Transport System.

POC is the country's first multi-carrier platform, which allows the acquisition of TBG products and services, as well as products and services offered by TAG and NTS gas carriers.

In case there is a need to contract Daily products immediately, the Capacity Boking Platform has been programmed to process requests with only one day in advance. These requests and the subsequent contracting of Daily products always take place in the early hours of the day and, once the capacity has been contracted, clients can request transport for the next day. Interested shippers may request to contract the capacity of one or more products, either by entry point and/or exit zone, according to their interests.
