Portos RS is preparing to invest BRL 160 million in the ports of Rio Grande, Porto Alegre, and Pelotas in Rio Grande do Sul. In the second half of the year, the company plans to open a bidding process to build a new terminal for handling agricultural commodities in the port of Rio Grande, the busiest of the three. This year, the company plans to proceed with the second stage of dredging and continue paving and signaling improvements. It is currently working on enhancing access to the public wharf by installing automated systems to enhance operational safety. In addition to the public area, the complex includes nine leased areas and 22 private terminals that handle agricultural commodities such as grains, fertilizers, and cellulose.
