Government signs contracts for Private Use of Terminals

The Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, signed last Monday (07/29), nine contracts for the use of Private Terminals (TUPs), and a lease for the Port of Cabedelo (PB). The initiative will guarantee investments of over R$500m and expand cargo handling in the North, South, and Northeast.

According to Minister Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, private-use terminals should soon respond to almost 70% of Brazil’s transported cargo. “Today’s subscriptions represent almost R$500m of new investments in the port sector. These contracts bring legal certainty and allow new investments to be made,” explained Freitas.

North region

There will be six investment contracts in the Northern region. Two destined to the movement of solid bulk: one of the company Ciagram Ports and Navigation, of Amazônia Ltda., in Humaitá, Amazonas; and another from Cianport – North Navigation and Ports Company in Itaituba, Pará.

Three other terminals have in their destination the movement of liquid bulk. There are two owned by Petrobras Distribuidora S/A, one in Porto Velho (RO) and the other in Oriximiná (PA). The other is owned by the company Terminais Fluviais do Brasil S/A and is located in Itacoatiara, Amazonas.

In Manaus, J. F. de Oliveira Navegação Ltda, signed a contract to expand the area that moves containers and general cargo.
