📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Ports and Airports (MPOR), Silvio Costa Filho, is serving in China a series of bilateral meetings with infrastructure giants to attract investments to major works in Brazil. This Monday (12), the minister met with the Chinese companies CCCC and CSCEC to present details of the project for the construction of the Santos-Guardian tunnel and the portfolio of port auctions scheduled for 2025 and 2026.
Increasingly the Asian market is observing Brazil as the large window of investment opportunity. This is very important for the country, especially for the economic development agenda. We wait for the port and waterway sectors over the next 10 years, investments of 15 billion, said the minister after the meetings this morning.
Silvio Costa Filho is part of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvas entourage in an official visit to the Asian country. Brazil is today the country most sought after by international investors, not only in Asia, but in Europe, because the world wants good projects, legal certainty, credit and investments with sustainability. And Brazil has all these conditions, he said.
CCCC (China Communications Construction Company) was responsible for the construction of the submarine tunnels of Dalian Bay, Shenzhen-Zhongshan and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau, one of the worlds most complex subaccatic projects. The company has already shown interest in the Santos-Guaruja tunnel, whose auction should take place in August.
With a forecast of 6 billion, the tunnel will be the largest investment in transport infrastructure in the new PAC. First submerged tunnel of Latin America, Santos-Guaruja will have 870m long and 21m deep. CSCEC (China State Construction Engineering Corporation) is a specialist in civil construction and public works, having been responsible for most major buildings in China. At the meeting, Costa Filho presented the investment portfolio, which includes auctions from the port and water sectors. The expectation of the federal government is to hold about 30 auctions, in 2025 and 2026.
The agendas in China add up to the roadshow that the minister held in April in Europe, when he visited companies from Portugal, the Netherlands and Denmark, specialized in works similar to the construction of the Brazilian tunnel, as well as international investors.
