Antaq approved the public hearing contributions regarding the Port of São Sebastião leasing

Antaq approved the document improvement contributions received during the public hearing held for the leasing of the Port of São Sebastião. In total, Antaq received 239 contributions. The agency will now forward the approved documents to the Ministry of Infrastructure, which will lead the privatization process.

The future lessee will sign a 25-year contract. The estimated value of the agreement reaches R$ 237.4 million. Other estimated investments go near R$ 3.263 million. By 2060, the port is expected to handle 56 million tonnes per year, representing an average growth of 0.3% until then.

The proposed minimum grant amount will be R$33.3 million and must be paid in a single installment. The bidder who offers the highest grant value will win the auction, which shall be held in person.

In addition, the new lessee will have to annually pay an Inspection Fund fee to Antaq worth R$ 446.5 thousand during the entire term of the contract. This amount will be divided into 12 monthly installments.

Currently, the port is managed by Companhia Docas de São Sebastião (CDSS). There is a Private Use Terminal in the organized port area owned by Petrobras Transportes S/A – Transpetro, called São Sebastião Waterway Terminal. The total area to be leased is 32.60 km².

According to federal government policy, the concession of the Port of São Sebastião will result in productivity gains in terms of management, efficiency, and agility in purchasing and contracting.
