Paraná Ports announces public bid for vehicle terminal at Paranaguá

On Thursday, August 3, the public company Portos do Paraná published a notice for the auction of the vehicle handling area at Paranaguá Port. PAR12 is on the east side of the pier, has an area measuring 74,000 m2 and a patio with a capacity for 4,000 vehicles.

Aimed at handling Ro-Ro cargo, the lease is for a greenfield site. The winner will be the highest bidder and the estimated investment cost (Capex) is R$22.2 million.

The notice and the annexes are available on the websites: www.portosdoparana.pr.gov.br, www.infraestrutura.gov.br, and www.antaq.gov.br. The documents are also found at the administrative headquarters of the Port of Paranaguá, at Avenida Ayrton Senna da Silva, 161, Dom Pedro II.

The public auction session will be held on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3), on December 18th. The Paraná port authority is the first in Brazil to auction a terminal at its port. Portos do Paraná was given autonomy to manage the development contracts in August 2019.

“Authorization to do this was formalized after an extensive process of analysis, in which the State demonstrated the capacity and competence to carry out these processes”, explains the president of the public company, Luiz Fernando Garcia. “It was an important step, which guarantees management autonomy and allows the port facilities to be operated in a decentralized manner”, he says.

The lease is for a 25-year term and may be extended at the discretion of the granting authority and within the terms of the notice. The forecast demand, in this period, is growing and could reach 448,716 vehicles by 2045.

The scenarios and demand projection are part of the Technical, Economic, and Environmental Feasibility Study (EVTEA), carried out by the Planning and Logistics Company S.A, linked to the Infrastructure Ministry.
