New private terminal in the Port of Santos to attract BRL 7.6 bn in investments

Evolve Empreendimentos has received authorization from the Ministry of Ports and Airports to establish a Private Use Terminal (TUP) at the Port of Santos. Santos Terminais Susteníveis (STS) has planned investments of R$ 7.6 billion and will primarily handle containers, solid bulk, and liquid bulk on Bagres Island.

The contract between the company and the Federal Government was published in the Official Gazette on May 9, and the authorization for the TUP was announced by the Minister of Ports and Airports, Márcio França, on Tuesday, May 27. As per the contract, the TUP will be located on the island situated on the Left Bank of the Port of Santos, facing Largo de Santa Rita and Largo de Canéu.

The facility’s purpose will involve the handling and storage of various types of cargo, including vegetable solid bulk (grains, sugar, and bran), mineral solid bulk (fertilizers), liquid bulk (petroleum derivatives, excluding LPG, and ethanol), as well as containerized cargo for water transportation purposes.

In a statement, Fabrizio Pierdomenico, the National Secretary of Ports and Waterway Transport, highlighted the significant contribution of TUPs in expanding port capacity in the country, accounting for over 65% of all cargo moved in Brazilian ports today. He also mentioned that since the enactment of Federal Law 12,815/13, the Law of Ports, more than 150 new private port terminals have been authorized nationwide.

“Santos Terminais Susteníveis, a multipurpose private terminal, is part of the broader authorization of TUPs in the Largo Santa Rita region, which is within the Port of Santos complex. This ensures capacity expansion through entirely private investments,” Pierdomenico added.

New contracts

On June 26th, Minister Márcio França signed nine adhesion contracts for private port facilities in the first half of 2023. These contracts represent a total investment of over R$ 9 billion and will expand port operations across the Southeast, North, Northeast, and Midwest regions of Brazil.

The contracts primarily focus on authorizing exploration, expanding port areas, and increasing capacity. They include eight Private Use Terminals (TUPs) and one Cargo Transshipment Station (ETC). Among these agreements, Santos stands out with the highest investment value. In the North Region, specifically in the states of Amazonas, Pará, and Rondônia, the signed contracts amount to more than R$ 934 million (see list below).
