Antaq approves documents for terminal bidding at the Port of Santos

The terminal is located in the Alemoa industrial zone, in the Right Bank (Disclosure)

The National Waterway Transportation Agency (Antaq) has approved the preparatory bidding documents for the STS08 terminal at the Port of Santos. With this approval, the Port Authority of Santos (APS) can proceed with the leasing process for the area. Intended for the handling of liquid bulk cargo, especially fuels, the terminal is situated in the Alemoa industrial zone, near Petrobras, in the Right Bank.

At the end of 2023, a delegation agreement was signed between the Agency and APS, transferring, among other functions, the authority to conduct the bidding process for the leasing of port facilities to the Port Manager.

With Antaq's approval of the Technical, Economic, and Environmental Feasibility Study (EVTEA) and the draft of the bidding notice and lease contract, APS is now ready to open public hearings and consultations for the STS08 terminal auction.

The auction is expected to represent R\$ 400 million in investments, with a concession contract for 25 years, extendable for an equal period. The goal is to increase the capacity for handling liquid bulk cargo at Alemoa.
