Codesp president presents results of first 100 days of management in 2019

Last Tuesday (12/06), the president of the Santos Port Authority, Casemiro Tércio Carvalho, presented the results of the first 100 days of management. Among the results achieved in this period, one of the highlights was net income of R$68m in the first four months of this year, the best result in decades. Other highlights included savings of R$7.5m per year due to eight renegotiated service contracts, and the prospect of saving a further R$5m per year, due to better personnel and time management.

In relation to the market, Tércio emphasized the work developed by his commercial team, which signed three transition contracts with terms renegotiated in favor of the Port Authority. Court injunctions in favor of terminals operating precariously despite expired contracts were overturned, which will allow new investments to flow to the port. He also emphasized the elaboration of a proposal for a new tariff structure to use of the canal, following criteria for charges based on gross tonnage. The proposal is expected to be presented to the Port Authority Council (CAP) within 45 days.

Tércio also highlighted commercial actions aimed at attracting new cargo to the port, through the prospection of productive chains. Regarding this, he announced the opening of a commercial office in China, the renewal of the ‘Santos Port Authority’ brand, and preparation of new leases for areas where contracts are almost expiring.
