Paranaguá Ports to lease vehicle handling area – PAR12

Paraná Ports was authorized by the National Waterway Transportation Agency (Antaq) to hold an auction for the lease of a new vehicle area. The Paraná port authority is the first in Brazil to obtain this type of authorization.

The PAR12 area is on the east side of the pier, to the rear of the Paranaguá Container Terminal (TCP). Intended for the movement of vehicles, the project involves an area that measures ​​74,000 m2 and the lease is in the Greenfield model.

“The project was revised, after the bidding was abandoned in 2018. The new proposal is for a smaller area, with static capacity for 4,000 vehicles. The investment cost estimate (Capex) is R$ 22.2 million ”, says the CEO of Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia.

The Technical, Economic and Environmental Feasibility Study (EVTEA) was carried out by the Planning and Logistics Company S.A, linked to the Ministry of Infrastructure. Now, Portos do Paraná must follow the rites for publication, with support from the Ministry and Antaq.

According to the national secretary of Ports and Water Transport, Diogo Piloni, authorization is an important step in the decentralization of the port sector. “More management autonomy is essential. The local authority is closer to the companies and knows all the peculiarities of the region ”, he says.

The management of the ports of Paraná was granted autonomy to handle development contracts for the organized port areas in August 2019. The delegation of competence agreement 001/2019 was formalized after an extensive process of analysis and validation.
