Brazil’s TCU endorses concession of 4 liquid bulk terminals at Port of Itaqui

Brazil’s Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) approved plans to open the concession of a further four terminals at the Port of Itaqui, in the state of Maranhão. The terminals IQI 101, IQI 111, IQI 112 and IQI 113 are all set up for handling and storing liquid bulk cargo, including dangerous and hazardous goods.

The country’s National Waterway Transport Agency (ANTAQ) is now expected to publish the note during the coming weeks. The auction is scheduled to take place in the second half of 2020.

The National Secretary for Ports and Waterway Transport, Diogo Piloni, has emphasized the importance of Maranhão’s terminals in the fuel distribution chain in the country. “The Port of Itaqui has become a reference in the distribution of liquid bulk considering its strategic geographical position and its connectivity with the rest of the country by road, rail and waterway,” he said.
