In less than two months, the bid notices should be published for the STS08 and STS08A terminals in Alemoa, in the Port of Santos. Despite the expectation, studies for these port leases have not yet been approved by the Federal Accounting Court, which analyzes the processes. The main products moved by the terminals are petroleum products, ethanol and other chemical products. According to DataLiner the number of vessel calls per month ranges, on average, between 15 and 20 each month. The studies were delivered to the Federal Accounting Court in November last year. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, the portfolio expectations are the best possible for these leases. “The terminals will consolidate the largest lease auction in 20 years, with a forecast of R$ 1.6 billion in investments”, informed the folder. The design of the two terminals foresees an increase in the capacity of the facilities installed on the site and their modernization, in addition to the construction of two berths at the Alemoa Liquid Bulk Terminal (Tegla), a pier where ships dock that handle liquids in the region. With these interventions, the storage capacity of the terminals will increase from the current 7.3 million to 10.8 million tons.
