Itajaí Port concludes expropriation phase

The Port of Itajaí has ​​completed the expropriation phase of its areas that will be used to continue its expansion plan. Of the 42 properties evaluated on the market, so far 22 properties have been prioritized, leaving six properties that are still being negotiated in court.

The size of the physical space for the port expansion plan after expropriations, together with the other areas owned by the superintendence, total an area of ​​12,104m2, with the capacity to store up to 1700 TEU.  This area is almost half of the total area where the Contiguous Customs Area (RAC) is located, which measures 24,308.55m2, and which will be incorporated next to the port’s backyard.

The Itajaí port expansion project is subdivided into different regions (areas) or zones (A, B, C, D, E – F), and, in order to arrive at a definition of which areas would be dealt with first in accordance with the port expansion plan, the order was reversed so as to start with area “F” (RAC site and expropriated properties).

After the expropriation of these properties in the vicinity of the port region has been concluded, with the total expansion planned, container storage capacity is forecast to go from 14,000 to 30,000 TEU. There is a post-expansion plan to increase reefer units from 1,500 to 3,000.
