Port Auction: Empat and the Intersal consortium lead the port terminals in Maceió and RN

The federal government has auctioned off two port terminals in the Northeast region. The first of them was for sugar handling in the port of Maceió (AL). The second was the Terminal Salineiro de Areia Branca, an island port located off the coast of Rio Grande do Norte. The tender was held at B3’s headquarters in São Paulo.

The only competitor, Empresa Alagoana de Terminais (Empat) won the sugar terminal bid with an offer of a R$ 15,000 grant for the asset. Bringing together producers, the company is the same company that currently carries out the operation today, through a transition contract.

In all, investments of R$ 55.7 million are planned over the 25-year contract. It is currently the only sugar terminal in the region. The Intersal consortium was the winner of the port-island in Rio Grande do Norte, bidding a R$100,000 grant. The company was also the only competitor.

The process at TERSAB (the salt terminal of Areia Branca) was even questioned by Hidrovias do Brasil. However, the attempt to challenge the notice was denied and the auction was maintained.

The 25-year contract provides for investments of R$ 165 million. The platform is currently operated by Companhia Docas do Rio Grande do Norte and is responsible for shipping sea salt in the state, the country’s main producer.
