Meet the winners of the “Portos + Brasil” award

For the first time, Brazilian public ports that achieved the highest performance indices were recognized by the Federal Government with the “Portos + Brasil Award”, created by the Ministry of Infrastructure. This first edition evaluated the best ports in the country based on IGAP (the management index for port authorities). “The government’s intention is to stimulate the permanent search for excellence in the management of public ports in Brazil”, stated Diogo Piloni, head of SNPTA (the national secretariat of ports and water transport), a division of the Ministry of Infrastructure.

The Portos + Brasil Award initiative is part of the guidelines provided for in Administrative Ruling MTPA No. 574/18, which guarantees more autonomy for port authorities in bidding procedures, in addition to maximizing the decentralization of organized port administration. The ordinance also allows the ministry to identify which port authorities have been adopting the best market, management, governance, and transparency practices and that have a good organizational, physical, and functional framework suitable for port exploration.

At the awards ceremony held last Tuesday, November 24, ports were recognized for having the best scores in the execution of planned investments, movement growth, variation of the EBTIDA margin, and IGAP ranking. The indicator assesses the level of operational efficiency, administrative efficiency, maintenance of waterway access, investment budget execution, and other factors. See the winners below:
