The Port of Rio Grande will receive R$337 million in investments to enhance its structure and operations, as announced by the Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho. The package includes a concession model for the access channel, to be auctioned in the second half of 2026, following the Port of Paranaguá’s standards. Other projects involve implementing a Vessel Traffic System (VTS) to improve maritime monitoring and redefining the Organized Port’s boundaries, expanding it to 54.1 million square meters to ensure legal and operational transparency. These initiatives, combined with R$432 million in dredging works, total R$770 million in current investments. Additionally, four new terminal auctions worth over R$2 billion are planned for 2026–2027, aimed at boosting port capacity and supporting sectors like green hydrogen.
