Infrastructure signs ordinance for investments of R$750m in the port sector

On Wednesday (09/25), the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, signed a decree that guarantees R$750m in investments through nine adhesion contracts in Private Use Terminals, besides the revision of the area of the Organized Port of Imbituba/SC.

The action brings more legal certainty to the sector, besides enabling new investments, and consequently, generating positive impacts on cargo handling in the five regions of the country.

For Freitas, besides allowing new investments, the government has been establishing a dialogue to remove barriers and solve regulatory problems. He highlighted the investments made just in this management.

“If we add the resources that will come through the private sector in the contracts of adhesion in private terminals and the lease contracts in the auctions we made in the areas of organized ports, we already add R$20bn in investments,” he said.

Since the beginning of the year, the government has signed 29 adhesion contracts in private terminals, as well as the regularization of 16 polygons of organized ports and 13 auctions of port leases.

Among the highlights of the contracts signed on Wednesday are: a passenger terminal in Balneário Camburiú (SC), a general cargo terminal, also in Santa Catarina, and a terminal in the Amazon, for handling ore, bulk, and general cargo.

According to the National Secretary of Ports and Waterways Transportation, Diogo Piloni, the government has accelerated the pace of investment authorizations in the port sector.

“This has been generating more cargo handling capacity and reducing the logistics cost for the country in general, since ports are important nodes in the logistics chains. Not to mention the legal certainty we generate so that these companies can make the investments,” he said.
