Federal Government Postpones Auction of Port Terminals

The Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor) announced on Friday (10) the postponement of the auction for six port terminals initially scheduled to take place on the 23rd at the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3). “MPor will soon announce the new deadline for the lease process,” the ministry stated in a released statement.

The decision to delay the auction stems from the ongoing public calamity situation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, where heavy rainfall has triggered severe flooding. MPor cited respect for the families and friends of the victims of the tragedy as the primary reason for the postponement.

This year’s inaugural port auction by the Federal Government encompasses the leasing of six areas, one of which is located in Rio Grande do Sul, known as RIG10, situated within the Port of Rio Grande. The remaining four terminals are in the Port of Recife (PE) – REC04, REC08, REC09, and REC10 – and one in the Port of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) – RDJ06.

The National Waterborne Transport Agency (Antaq) published the bidding notice for these port terminals in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) on April 2.

The total investment allocated for these areas amounts to R$89.7 million. All terminals are slated to operate under simplified leasing contracts with a maximum tenure of ten years, without the possibility of extension.

Here’s an overview of the terminals:

– REC04: Intended for the handling and storage of solid bulk and general cargo, with expected investments of R$3.6 million.
– REC08: Dedicated to solid vegetable bulk, with anticipated investments totaling R$50.9 million.
– REC09: Focused on the operation and storage of solid bulk and general cargo, particularly rice, with an estimated investment of R$2.2 million.
– REC10: Designated for the movement of solid bulk and general cargo, with an investment forecast of almost R$3 million.
– RDJ06: Primarily for the storage and operation of liquid general cargo, with expected investments of R$22.2 million.
– RIG10: Handling and storing general cargo, with an investment projection of R$7.8 million.
