Sep, 03, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202036
On Thursday, September 3, the Infrastructure Ministry (MInfra) published notices for public bid´s of four port terminals: Paranaguá (PR) , Maceió (AL) and two in Aratu, Bahia. The auctions are scheduled for December 18 at the Brazilian stock Exchange, B3, in São Paulo.
The concession for the ATU12 terminal located in Aratu will be used for the handling of bulk minerals and will have a 25-year contract. ATU 18, also in Aratu, will be dedicated to the transport of bulk vegetables and will have a 15-year contract. The port complex, where the greenfield land is located, functions as an outlet for production and imports from the Camaçari Industrial Pole – the largest integrated industrial complex in the southern hemisphere which houses more than 90 chemical and petrochemical industries, in addition to companies from other sectors such as automotive, pulp, copper metallurgy etc.
The estimate is that R$244.95 million will be invested in the ATU 12 terminal for improvements and equipment acquisitions. For the ATU 18 terminal, investments are expected to reach R$ 119.94 million, including the construction of new storage silos, dredging to deepen the mooring berth, and acquisition of systems and equipment.
According to Diogo Piloni, Secretary of Ports and Water Transport of the Ministry of Infrastructure, the goal is to leverage the economy: “With these four new terminal auctions, we continue seeking opportunities for new investments in the port sector, thereby contributing to the recovery of the economy by creating jobs and generating income.”

In Maceió, the concession of the MAC 10 terminal will be for 25 years, with an investment forecast of R$12 million. The terminal will be dedicated to the handling of liquid bulk, especially sulfuric acid. The demand for chemical products in the complex is highly influenced by the presence of the Alagoas Chloro-Chemical Complex, located in the municipality of Marechal Deodoro.
At the Paranaguá Port Complex, the terminal will also be leased for 25 years in a greenfield area, and will be dedicated to the handling and storage of ro-ro cargo (access ramp for vehicle cargo). Currently, Brazil plays an important role in the ro-ro cargo sector, with several international headquarters in the automobile industry recently investing in production plants in the country.
For the Paraná-São Francisco do Sul cluster, a weighted-average growth rate of 2% is forecast for the 25-year period, with an estimated movement of 276,000 tons in 2021 and reaching 453,000 tons in 2045.
