With the public consultation for future leasing auctions in the solid cargo handling areas in the Port of Paranaguá, Portos do Paraná seeks to enhance the process with public contribution and clarify existing doubts

The company Portos do Paraná opened a public consultation last Wednesday, (25/05), for the bidding of new solid cargo handling areas that will undergo future lease auctions in the Port of Paranaguá, located in the state of Paraná. Thus, the port authority aims to bring more transparency for the process of granting areas to the private sector and receiving public collaboration in these bids.

Two new areas of the Port of Paranaguá will undergo lease auctions and Portos do Paraná opened public consultation for contribution in the process 

Located to the east of the Port of Paranaguá, the PAR14 and PAR15 are intended for the movement and storage of solid vegetable bulk and are essential for export and import operations in the complex. Now, Portos do Paraná is starting the processes for the future leasing of these areas, with a focus on holding the auctions still during the year 2022, and continues with its efforts to accelerate this entire process. 

In this way, the company opened public consultation for bids involving the lease auctions of solid cargo handling areas in the Port of Paranaguá. The opening took place this past Wednesday and the public notices will be available for consultation until the next 08th of July.

With that, the new summons, of PAR14 and PAR15, are already published in the official gazettes, of the State and of the Union, and in the Ports of Paraná website, and you can check them at any time until the end of the query. 

The main objective of the 45 days that are being made available for the public consultation of the bids is to promote transparency within this concession process to the private sector. In addition, they will also be essential for anyone interested in contributing in some way to the bids for future lease auctions for areas in the Port of Paranaguá. Thus, the director-president of Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia, commented that “This period precedes the public hearings that also already have pre-defined dates for the first week of July, on the 5th and 6th. up for auction, later this year, these three areas”.

Lease auctions for the PAR14 and PAR15 areas are not the first planned for 2022 in the port complex and Portos do Paraná is investing in the processes

The concession of operational areas to the private sector is being increasingly sought after by Brazilian ports and it would not be different in the Port of Paranaguá. This is because the bids for the lease auctions for the solid cargo areas PAR14 and PAR15 are, respectively, the second and third public hearings of areas to be held this year.

Even before the start of the processes in these areas, Portos do Paraná started the public hearing of the PAR09 area, of 24 thousand square meters, also dedicated to the movement of solid vegetable bulk.

Still on the public contribution process for future area lease auctions, Portos do Paraná points out that the Port Area Bidding Commission (Clap) will only consider contributions, subsidies and suggestions sent by 23:59 pm on July 8 . And, in addition, these should only be done through the forms provided on the website made available for public consultation. 

And, with the opening of the public consultation by Portos do Paraná, the company continues to seek new port growth directions for the Port of Paranaguá over the next few years, with a focus on expanding cargo handling operations.
