Santos Port Authority plans to tender newly incorporated areas of the Port of Santos from 2027, potentially adding 20–30 terminals and an Export Processing Zone after expanding the complex by 56% to 14.5 km², under approval from the Ministry of Ports and Airports. The expansion includes priority development zones and larger maritime areas to support growth and private investment. Experts say the move could reinforce the port’s role as South America’s main logistics hub and sustain Brazil’s trade flows, though infrastructure and access upgrades remain essential to avoid bottlenecks. The enlarged boundary is expected to improve investor certainty, enable integrated port-industry operations and support long-term modernization.
