The Superintendence of the Port of Itajaí launched on August 4 the tender protocol for the lease of berths 1 and 2. The new lessee will operate at the port for a maximum of two years while the Ministry of Infrastructure does not finalize the privatization process of the Port of Itajaí. APM Terminals currently run the operation at the two berths. Still, the company rejected the port’s proposal to extend the contract, which ends in December this year, until the end of privatization. With this, a new company will operate the two berths, starting in January 2023, until the end of the privatization process.
