The city of Itajaí obtained a significant victory on March 2. At a meeting in Brasília, the Minister of Ports and Airports, Márcio França, confirmed to city representatives that the Port of Itajaí will remain public for another 35 years; he also promised to lease the port’s terminals with extra agility. What is new is that the Federal Government will also have a stake in the new management model, which allows it to contribute with more investments to develop the port complex. “The Port of Itajaí will continue to be public, managed jointly by the Itajaí City and the Federal Government. The City Hall will be in charge of the port authority for another 35 years, and now still have to find a formula to do this, allow the ships to return to Itajaí, generate work and income,” Márcio França, Minister of Ports and Airports, assured.
