Vports, the new operator of the Port of Vitória and the former Codesa changed the fees charged to ships that dock at the port complex. Depending on the type of cargo handled, the measure, according to the concessionaire, entails a rebalancing of fees and lowers the cost that ships must pay to reach the port by up to 90%. For instance, when ships carry wheat cargo dock at the terminals. Those that transport containers, pig iron, malt, coal, and fertilizer are also among the beneficiaries. The CEO of VPorts, Ilson Hulle, estimates that the average reduction is 46%. The tariff may, however, be readjusted by more than 1,500% in some cases.
