On Wednesday (12/18), the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, signed lease agreements of five port areas in the state of Pará: four areas in the Port of Belém and one in the Port of Vila do Conde, in Barcarena. The auction was held in April this year by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the National Agency for Water Transport (Antaq), in São Paulo.
“We have just concluded these lease agreements and signed our memorandum of understanding to study the revitalization of the port area, which will provide the integration of the port and the city. We will provide a new landscape, a new space, a new area for the citizen of Belém,” said the minister. “We know the vocation of the port, where port activity is growing. And I’m sure that the momentum that will be given, especially in tourism, is very great,” he concluded.
Total investment in the five areas was R$350m and the amount raised in the concession was R$417.5m. All areas are for fuel handling and storage. The BEL 09 area, which was awarded by Petrobras Transportes SA Transpetro/RJI CTVM LTDA, will be signed in January 2020.
