Brazil government commits over BRL 9 billion in port sector contracts

To achieve the new goal of expanding and improving the efficiency of cargo transportation in Brazil set by the Federal Government, Márcio França, the Minister of Ports and Airports, signed nine contracts of adhesion for private port terminals on Tuesday, the 27th pertaining to the first half of 2023.

This initiative ensures an investment of over BRL 9 billion in projects across Brazil’s Southeast, North, Northeast, and Midwest regions.

The contracts primarily involve operating authorization, area expansion permits, and increasing the capacity of the ports. These include eight Private Use Terminals (TUPs) and one Cargo Transshipment Station (ETC).
