On Tuesday (03), the President of the Port Authority of Santos, Anderson Pomini, and the managers of the Internal Railway of the Port of Santos (Fips) attended the ceremony that marked the start of the transitional period for the transfer of the contract of the Port of Santos’ railway network and all the legally binding commitments it entails. “The railway capacity of the Port of Santos complex is nearing saturation, with a 94% utilization rate, making its expansion essential for meeting the goal of doubling cargo throughput in the next 5 to 10 years. Currently, the railway capacity of the port complex is 50 million tonnes per year and needs to reach 115 million tonnes to accommodate the cargo inflow from the railway lines that make it to the Port of Santos,” explains the President of the Port Authority of Santos (APS), Anderson Pomini.
