The construction and operation of Petrobras’ new liquid bulk terminal on the right bank of the Port of Santos will generate 12,000 jobs (direct and indirect positions included). The STS08A will be in a 338.2 thousand m² area in Alemoa, acquired by Petrobras in an auction held in November of last year per the payment of a R$ 558.2 million grant to the Santos Port Authority (SPA). The lease, signed on March 23, will be valid for the next 25 years. Expected investments amount to R$ 625.7 million by 2026. “The investments in the STS08A terminal will increase the supply of berths in the Alemoa region, which is home to the cluster of mineral liquids on the right bank of the Port of Santos, by 50%. As a result, STS08A closes a long-standing capacity gap, securing the supply of the Port of Santos’ entire hinterland,” stated SPA.
