Auction at the Port of Santos Should Attract R$ 6.4 Billion in Investments and Strengthen Brazil in Global Trade

The auction of Tecon Santos 10, at the Port of Santos, will attract investments of at least R$ 6.4 billion and expand the container capacity by 50% at the largest port in Brazil.

The bidding process will take place in the first half of March, after approval from the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), according to the Ministry of Ports and Airports.

In addition, the project will create 2,500 direct jobs and around 5,000 indirect jobs during construction.

With TCU’s approval, the Port of Santos Auction process returns to the Ministry of Ports and Airports.

This way, the ministry will be able to complete the technical adjustments and publish the bidding notice by the end of January.

According to the national secretary of ports, Alex Ávilla, the government expects strong competition.

“We expect broad participation in the auction, as there are many domestic and international companies interested in the bidding process. Undoubtedly, it will be the largest auction in history and very competitive.”

Meanwhile, the ministry is preparing an international roadshow.

The initiative will involve embassies and large global groups, expanding the project’s reach.

Billion-Dollar Investments Strengthen the Port of Santos

The new terminal will have 621,000 square meters and will be dedicated to the movement and storage of containers and general cargo.

With this, the Port of Santos will increase its annual capacity to 9 million containers.

Currently, the complex accounts for 29% of Brazil’s foreign trade.

Therefore, any expansion directly impacts Brazil’s economy.

“Tecon Santos 10 will bring investments of R$ 6.4 billion and increase by 50% the container handling capacity of the Port of Santos,” said Minister Silvio Costa Filho.

According to him, the project is essential for increasing port efficiency and the flow of national production.

New Grant Model Makes Auction More Attractive

The Port of Santos Auction will bring an important innovation to the contract modeling.

The government will adopt a minimum grant, as recommended by the TCU.

This strategy aims to balance two central points.

On one hand, it ensures attractiveness to the market.

On the other hand, it guarantees an adequate financial return to the treasury.

Thus, the auction will go to whoever offers the highest grant value.

Direct Impacts on the Oil and Gas Sector

Although focused on containers, the new terminal benefits the entire logistics chain.

This includes strategic sectors such as Oil and Gas, agribusiness, and industry.

With greater efficiency, the Port of Santos reduces logistical bottlenecks.

Consequently, Brazil gains international competitiveness.

In addition, the project establishes Santos as a logistics hub in Latin America.

Long-Term Grant Ensures Predictability for Brazil

The grant for Tecon Santos 10 will last for 25 years.

During this period, the concessionaire must construct four berths.

The contract requires international standards of efficiency and operation.

Therefore, the auction represents not just a one-time investment.

It signals legal certainty and regulatory predictability.

With this, the Port of Santos Auction establishes itself as a turning point for infrastructure investments in Brazil.
