Brazilian Government (Antaq) published late on Thursday (3/9) public notices to grant four ports to the private sector. The terminals are in Paranaguá (PR), Maceió (AL) and Aratu (BA). Auctions are scheduled for December 18 at B3, in São Paulo. The ATU12 terminal leasing in Aratu (BA) is a 25-year contract, destined to the handling of bulk minerals. The ATU18 leasing, also in Aratu (BA), is a 15-year contract meant to the handling of bulk vegetables. In Maceió, the lease of the MAC10 terminal will last 25 years. The estimate investment for this terminal is of R$ 12 million, and it is meant to the handling of liquid bulk, especially sulfuric acid. The demand for chemical products in the complex is highly influenced by the presence of the Alagoas chlorochemical complex, in Marechal Deodoro (AL). The Paranaguá Port Complex (PR) leasing will last 25 years in a greenfield area, meant to the handling and warehousing of Roll-On/Roll-Off cargo (access ramp designed to carry wheeled cargo).
