The week of Infra Week, where there was a series of auctions in the logistics and transportation sector, the Ministry of Infrastructure, through the National Agency of Waterway Transportation (Antaq), concluded the auction of five port terminals in Brazil. One of the auctions was at the Port of Pelotas (PEL01), in Rio Grande do Sul and the others were in Maranhão, at the Port of Itaqui (IQI03, IQI11, IQI12, and IQI13). As a result, the coming years will see significant investment in this area, generating jobs and income.

As a result, the companies that won the auctions for the port terminals committed to investing at least R$ 612 million in the coming years. “The nearly R$ 220 million that were bid today are important; they generate jobs, income, the possibility of a more efficient, more productive, and more robust port sector, improving our transportation infrastructure,” said Eduardo Ney, general director of Antaq.

The port terminals IQI03, IQI11, and IQI12 at the Port of Itaqui were successfully auctioned by Santos Brasil Participações. Meanwhile, the Terminal Quimoco de Aratu (Tequimar) was the winner of the IQI13 area. In Rio Grande do Sul, at the Port of Pelotas, the PELO1 area will be managed by Celulose Riograndense.
