Gov’t approves reviewed tariffs for the ports of Pelotas and Santana

The National Waterway Transportation Agency (ANTAQ) approved the new tariff for the organized ports of Pelotas and Santana in accordance with the agency’s new tariff standardization effort under Resolution No. 61 of 2021.

The homologation of the new values approved by the collegiate board of the government body will be executed after word of the Granting Authority and the Ministry of Economy after the legal period of 15 working days after the issuing of Antaq’s decision.

It is worth remembering that the last tariff revision of the Organized Port of Pelotas occurred in May 2015. For this reason, a projected Annual Tariff Revenue (RAT) of R$ 672,677.65 was authorized for the reference period after the revision, equivalent to one Average Readjustment Index (IRT) of 53.4% and an Average Tariff Effect (EMT) of 62.64%.

In the Organized Port of Santana, ANTAQ approved a projected RAT of R$18,770,263.00 as a reference period subsequent to the review, equivalent to an IRT of 62.42% and an EMT of 59.07%.

CDRJ

The collegiate board of ANTAQ denied the port authority of Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ)’s request to postpone the application of Table I of the port of Rio de Janeiro’s new tariff structure. The proposal was motivated by a recent study by the authority that demonstrated potential impacts on cargo handling in the port due to the new tariff structure.

Antaq denied the request after determining that the port authority had already provided an impact analysis. It is important to note that the debate over the new port tariff has been ongoing since the approval of ANTAQ’s normative instruction 61/2021.
