The government plans to auction 15 port terminals by the end of the year, but the offer for the country’s largest fuel terminal, operated by Transpetro, at the Port of Santos has been postponed to 2021. Karoon and PetroRio Confirm Interest in Purchasing Petrobras Oil Fields

This week, a public consultation will begin regarding the new contract model for the Alemoa Liquid Bulk Terminal (STS08), which involves the preparation stage for the bidding process. Contributions from the sector will be accepted until June 17.

The Ministry of Infrastructure anticipates that, among the 15 area leases scheduled for this year, six will have the bidding notice published still this month – two cellulose terminals in Santos and four liquid bulk terminals at the Port of Itaqui (MA).

The Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) still needs to release the studies for four terminals, including two mineral and vegetable bulk terminals in Aratu (BA), one liquid bulk terminal, specifically sulfuric acid, in Maceió, and another vegetable bulk terminal in Santana (AP). The others are undergoing final adjustments to enter public hearing.

Despite the crisis, Fernando Biral, president of the Port of Santos, claims that the sector is “quite optimistic” about the scheduled leasing auctions for 2020 and assesses that the bidding for the Port of Santos terminal – operated by Petrobras’ subsidiary – will raise funds in the vicinity of 1.2 billion reais.

According to the executive, the effects of the pandemic had not been felt at the Port of Santos until the end of April, with some preliminary indicators pointing to the “best four-month period in history” in operations.

However, he mentioned that he has already received information that ship traffic will decline starting in May, especially those carrying cargo from China.

Only Transpetro handled 6.5 million tons of petroleum derivatives in 2019 at the terminal. This accounts for 52 percent of all movements of this type of cargo at the Port of Santos during that period.

The terminal lease is expected to attract groups operating in both vertically integrated oil sector chains, such as Petrobras, and major port operators with or without a presence in the Brazilian market.

To increase efficiency and enhance competition in fuel shipment in Santos, the government decided to offer the terminal in two separate areas (STS08 and STS08A). The monthly lease cost is expected to be R$ 16 million for the new operators, under 25-year contracts.

The terminal operated by Transpetro has a total area of 443,000 square meters (m2), to be divided into 137,300 m2 for STS08 and 305,600 m2 for STS08A.

Currently, the facility has a storage capacity of 345,000 cubic meters (m3). With the new investment, this is expected to be expanded to 450,000 m3. The main investment will be the construction of two new berths.
