Brazil’s new President, Jair Bolsonaro, announced that the Secretariat of Ports would offer concessions to ten port areas in the first half of 2019. The President plans to privatize four out of the ten port areas as early as March, according to his tweet:

Three terminals from the Port of Cabedelo and one from Vitória make the list of early concessions, scheduled next month. The auctions will take place on March 22, and the deadline to submit proposals is March 19. All the port areas are for fuel storage and handling. They are part of the federal government’s Investment and Partnership Program (PPI). The government expects to attract an investment of R$200m.

The tenure of the contracts is 25 years, consisting of more than 130,000 square meters of area. The largest area is at the Port of Vitória at 74,000 square meters.
