The main investments made by the Port include the Expressway, which connects the terminal to BR-324/BA, the dredging of its access channel, the construction and modernization of the new maritime passenger terminal, the purchase of new equipment for the Container Terminal, and the modernization of the wheat reception structure.

Also during this visit to Bahia, the Secretary learned about the projects of Tecon Salvador, the Codeba terminal that connects Brazil to other parts of the world where operations are commercially active. From 2017 to now, the terminal directed over R$ 443 million in investments, enhancing its know-how in support and structure.

“The port sector has been breaking movement records with differentiated results, thanks to a technical management that has been adopted at Codeba. We believe in the potential of Bahia’s ports and we are optimistic about the future projects that will be implemented,” added Marcelo Sampaio.

TECHNICAL VISIT – In addition to Codeba and the Port of Salvador, Marcelo Sampaio will on Friday (9) inspect the Port of Aratu-Candeias, which is part of the Concessions Program of MInfra and foresees investments of R$ 413 million. The Secretary will conclude the agenda by visiting the Salvador International Airport, which underwent expansion and renovation works, along with investments in sustainability, being the first airport in Brazil to have a solar plant with the capacity to meet over 30% of the current consumption of the passenger terminal.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.

Automatic cars become ‘cheap’ in Brazil, and models from Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, and Honda appear for R$ 65,000 with up to 120 hp, CVT transmission, 482 liters of trunk space, keyless entry, and six airbags to tackle traffic without a clutch.

Santos earns the title of Brazilian Amsterdam after comparison reveals inspiring canals, 10,000 km distance, surprising historical connection, and a system that helped combat flooding, diseases, and transform Brazil’s largest port city.
