Tecon Santos promises to generate 850 jobs

Over the next 45 days, the expansion project of the Santos Port Container Terminal – Tecon Santos, managed by Santos Brasil, should begin. The forecast is that the Tecon Santos project will generate about 850 jobs, direct and indirect, and the last 18 months. About R$150m will be invested in the expansion of the quay.

Another 220 meters of the pier will be added to the current 980 meters of Tecon, totaling 1,200 meters; and another 310 meters from the Vehicle Terminal (TEV), located next to Tecon and also operated by Santos Brasil.

With the new dimensions, the Tecon will be able to receive at the same time three 366-meter New Panamax vessels that can carry up to 12,500 TEU.

Investments began in 2018 and are part of a project to completely modernize Tecon Santos, which foresees an investment of R$1.3bn.

Santos Brasil intends to increase operating and energy efficiencies, speed and operating flow, which should increase by at least 20% of the terminal’s handling capacity – from 2m to 2.4m TEU per year.

Tecon is located on the Left Bank of the Santos port complex in Guarujá. The works will be carried out by the Bahian construction company Axxo, which won the competition to execute them.
