A new auction notice should be published in the Port of Santos by the end of next month. This time, the STS11, soon to be Santo’s largest solid vegetable bulk terminal, located in Paquetá, will be tendered. The legal draft was already approved by the Federal Audit Court (TCU) last wee, albeit the Federal Government must still conduct a costs review. The terminal will handle approximately 14.3 million tonnes of grains per year. Private investments will get near R$ 758.15 million over the 25-year contract, generating 10,610 jobs. STS11 will have a static storage capacity of 516,600 tonnes of grains, primarily for soybeans, soybean meal, corn, and sugar, and will cover an area of 114,700 square meters. The land slot will be put under the lessee’s possession in a scattered manner. In the first stage, the lessee will be able to operate the berths of warehouses 13 and 14, in addition to warehouse 15. In the second phase, the berth of Warehouse 12A will be made available.
