Companhia Docas do Estado da Bahia (CODEBA) signed a contract with Porto Forte, a port operator at the Port of Aratu-Candeias, to restore the port’s conveyor belt and its metallic structures in the import corridor of the solid bulk terminal. Equipment to be restored includes a conveyor belt (TC-B1A and TC B1B), transfer tower, and ship unloader. The deadline for the execution of the service is 90 days.

The investments will be paid for by Porto Forte using the port administration’s revenues, provided for in the Aratu-Candeias port tariff after the negotiation of pre-paid revenue, approved by ANTAQ.

According to CODEBA, this direct action by the port operator will permit the return of solid bulk cargo on the import line which has been paralyzed since April 2019 because of equipment deterioration.
