The current 147 million tons of cargo handled per year at the port complex located at the Santos Bay, in the state of São Paulo, will increase to 240 million by 2040, estimates the Santos Port Authority (SPA). The terminals at the Port of Santos are preparing to nearly double this capacity in less than 20 years by investing in strategic management, technology, and qualified labor. According to Régis Prunzel, director of the Teg/Teag terminals, a twofold increase in handling rates is practically a reality. However, it will necessarily entail specific capabilities such as careful planning. Prunzel believes that it is critical to be more efficient and offer attractive investment rates to meet the goals set. Adriano Alves Moraes, general manager of the Guarujá Bulk Terminal (TGG), recalls the critical role of logistics in times such as the covid-19 pandemic in maintaining the supply of products and food. Marcos Khalil, manager of the Guarujá Maritime Terminal (Termag), explains that in 2021, the company installed a new ship unloader to increase fertilizer handling capacity.
