The Saboó Pier, on the Right Bank of the Port of Santos, will have temporary tenants. They will be able to explore three areas for a period of 180 days, with the possibility of renewal, until the Federal Government bids these areas. To make the transitional operation possible, the Santos Port Authority (Codesp) opened, on Monday (09/30), a selection process for the companies that will be responsible for the plots.

The three areas to be explored are 19,000 square meters, 41,000 square meters, and 21,000 square meters. They were occupied by Valongo Maritime Terminal and Rodrimar.

According to Codesp, they can be explored together or separately. The areas are open to receive proposals from different bidders, with no restrictions on the type of cargo, as long as they comply with the legislation.

“Our goal is to maximize the use of the port structure, to offer space solutions for those who demand it and to earn the proper revenue for the Port. A port like Santos cannot make the mistake of keeping noble areas unused,” said Docas CEO Casemiro Tércio Carvalho.

Selection

The process of choosing transitional tenants will happen in stages. First, an offer from the interested party is required. In addition to information about the company, you must specify the amount to be offered, which includes the amount to be paid monthly depending on the size of the leased area.

It is also necessary to specify the cargo to be operated and the amount to be paid per vehicle or container within a month, as well as the minimum contractual movement.

Codesp will then disclose the data to other potential stakeholders. If other proposals are received, they will be evaluated and classified for later submission of the documents for qualification.

Then, Codesp shall review this documentation and accept a proposal. After appeals, the contract must be approved by the National Agency for Water Transport (Antaq, the sector’s regulator) for the conclusion of the transition term.
