Santos Port Authority launches simplified process for transition contracts

This Monday (09/30), the Santos Port Authority launched the Notice of Simplified Selective Process for the choice of Transitional Tenants to sign a Transition Agreement, an instrument that allows private exploration of idle areas until the respective bidding processes for the assumption of the new tenant are finalized. The possibility is provided for in Resolution No. 07/2016 of the National Agency for Water Transport (Antaq). Thus, it seeks to make operational use of public assets and meet the needs of supply chains.

The notice is available at www.portodesantos.com.br and is permanently open. The Simplified Selection Process for each of the available areas, constantly updated on the Port Authority’s website, begins with the submission of an offer by any interested party that meets the conditions of participation and is carried out according to the procedure and deadlines set in the notice.

Three areas located at Cais do Saboó (former Valongo Maritime Terminal and former Rodrimar) have already been listed as available.

“Our goal is to maximize the use of the port structure, to offer space solutions for those who demand it, and to earn the proper revenue for the Port. A port like Santos cannot make the mistake of keeping noble areas unused,” said Santos Port Authority President Casemiro Tércio Carvalho.

The areas are open to receive proposals from different bidders without restrictions regarding the type of cargo, provided that they comply with the applicable legislation.
