Brazilian container terminal operators believe the tide is changing, regulation is on the wane, and new winds of investment-friendly decisions are on their way. Datamar has interviewed directors and CEOs in about half of all container terminal operators in ECSA over the past two months, and the expectations are high that Brazil’s new government, allied to a recovering economy will bring the lead to an opening of the investment flood-gates.

However, there is a lot of change underway as the central government looks to hand power back to port authorities, ministries are merged, agencies are discontinued, and there is the talk of privatizing port authorities. It is not surprising that despite the optimism, terminals are waiting to see how things will in fact shape up. It is expected this wait is likely to take around 100 days, however, it is likely that daily decisions and events will provide a growing sense of what the final picture will look like.

Datamar’s ECSA Container Terminals Report has launched a hot site where you can see the kind of information that will be made available when the report is published at Intermodal this year on the 19th March.
