Studies for the grain terminal at the Port of Santos are filed with TCU

The studies for the leasing of the STS 11 terminal on the right bank of the Port of Santos, have been filed with the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU). The terminal will be destined for the movement of solid vegetable bulk and should be auctioned in the 1st quarter of 2022.

“With this step, the Port of Santos maintains its expectation of holding 11 public auctions in four years”, assesses the president of the Santos Port Authority (SPA), Fernando Biral. “Approximately R$ 10 billion will be invested in leasing areas, infrastructure in terminals with existing contracts, and road-rail access”, explains Biral.

Of the auctions to be held at the port between 2019 and 2022, four have already taken place: STS 13A (liquid bulk), STS 20 (solid mineral bulk), STS 14, and STS 14A (pulp). On November 19, the STS 08 and STS 08A areas (for bulk liquid minerals) will be auctioned. For STS 53 (for bulk solid minerals), public consultation is open until November 16th. Studies for the STS 10 area, Saboó TRA (retro customs terminal), and the left bank TRA continue. These three are intended for container handling.

STS 11, in the neighborhood of Paquetá (Santos), will be leased to a terminal for bulk vegetable solids: soybeans, soy bran, corn, sugar, and wheat unloading. Investments of around R$ 693 million are planned in a 114,700-m2 area, with that capacity to store 397,000 tons.

After approval by the TCU, the notice with the public auction rules will be published by ANTAQ (the national waterway transport agency).

The lease term is for 25 years.
