First Codesa concession auction due to be held in 2021

On Wednesday, June 3rd, the Infrastructure Minister, Tarcísio Freitas, participated in the webinar “Infrastructure in Espírito Santo: challenges and opportunities”. On the occasion, the minister spoke about the privatization process of Companhia Docas do Espírito Santo – Codesa.

According to him, The Infrastructure Ministry is depending on several international models so that the best arrangement for the company and public interests can be decided. Among the alternatives is a mixed model, with the concession of activities and sale of the company. The plan is for a study on these alternatives to be delivered in this second semester so that it can be considered in public consultations. The first auction is forecast to be held in 2021. “It is important to clarify that the lease agreements already made will be preserved”, explained the minister.

According to the National Secretary for Ports and Water Transport, Diogo Piloni, “today Codesa is composed of areas in Vitória, Vila Velha and Barra do Riacho. The idea is to have only one contract so that the concessionaire can explore the three areas. But the spaces have different characteristics, so we can make the concession for the areas of Vitória and Vila Velha and create an authorization for Barra do Riacho, improving the expansion potential of that region ”, he explained.

DataLiner data shows that in the first quarter of 2020, the Port of Vitória in Espírito Santo, exported 14,932 TEU, a volume 1.23% higher than the same period last year. Imports in the first quarter had similar growth at 1.52%, with 14,253 TEU imported. (To request a DataLiner demo click here)
