Brazil’s ANTAQ updates timeline for MCP 01 port terminal auction set for Feb. 26

Brazil’s waterway transport regulator ANTAQ has updated the auction schedule for port assets to be held on Feb. 26, 2026, according to a notice published in the Official Gazette. The revised timetable includes the MCP 01 area, operated by Companhia Docas de Santana (CDSA). The auction will be held at Brazil’s B3 stock exchange in São Paulo.

MCP 01 is a strategic site located within the boundaries of the organized Port of Santana, under CDSA’s administration. Covering a total area of 30,546 square meters, the terminal is designed to support regional economic development through the waterborne handling of wood chips and other solid vegetable bulk cargo for long-haul shipping.

The Port of Santana plays a key role in the state of Amapá and across northern Brazil, particularly as an outlet for regional grain production and wood chips. Planned investments total 150.2 million reais, with a concession term of 25 years.

Auction block

With combined investments estimated at 229 million reais, the four terminals included in the auction block are located in Macapá (Amapá), Natal (Rio Grande do Norte), Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul) and Recife (Pernambuco). These ports handle cereals, bulk commodities, minerals and passenger traffic. Project details have already been submitted by the National Secretariat of Ports to ANTAQ.
