Transitional Lease Notice

On September 25, SCPAR Porto de Imbituba, the site administrator of the Port of Imbituba, launched the Simplified Selection Process Notice no. 01/2020 for the transitional lease of the Bulk Liquid Terminal ( TGL) available area. The objective is that the area continues to be used for the handling and storage of caustic soda. The simplified selection aims to establish a transition contract for a period of up to 180 days, or until the bidding process for a 25-year long-term lease is concluded. The document was published on the Santa Catarina government website.

The TGL has an area of 7,455m² and is located between Pier 1 and 3. It consists of 3 storage tanks. However, two of them are out of operation. The operating tank has a capacity of 4,826 m³ of caustic soda. Any intention to store another product will depend on a new environmental license. In addition to the tanks, the terminal has 806 meters of supply ducts that connect the Pier to the TGL, and equipment for loading road transport vehicles. The reactivation of inoperative tanks may be carried out by the transitory contractor if authorized by the Port Authority.

This is the first time that SCPAR Porto de Imbituba uses the simplified selection process for the Transitional Lease Agreement, provided for in a 2016 resolution of the National Waterway Transportation Agency (ANTAQ), the regulatory body. Proposals are being accepted until October 13. The details of the selection process – including qualification deadlines and documents and the draft of the transition contract – are available via the Bidding Tab (click here).
