📋 Tender Overview
The project to increase the efficiency of port operation in the country had, on Thursday (28/8), a new advance. The Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPOR) has referred to the TCU the process of concession of the access channel to the port of Itajai, which provides for infrastructure works to receive ships up to 400 meters, the largest in operation in the world. MPORs National Port Secretariat believes that the auction should be held in the first quarter of 2026.
The Federal Governments strategy is to create conditions to expand movement in strategic ports for the country. With the granting of access channels, we have been able to reduce bureaucracy for dredging and ensure predictability for operators. This ends up reducing costs and making our products even more competitive, says Minister Silvio Costa Filho, with ports and airports.
A week ago, MPOR and Antaq launched the notice for concession of the access channel to the port of Paranagua, auction already scheduled for October 22. The winning company in Paranagua will be responsible for the expansion, maintenance and exploitation of the channels infrastructure, expanding the silence from 13.1 meters to 15.5 meters.
Following the planned schedule, MPor continues with projects to concess the access canals to the ports of Santos, Bahia and Rio Grande. Santoss project is being analyzed by Antaq for the construction of the notice and provides for a gradual change of silent, from 15 meters to 17 meters. In the case of Itajai, channel dredging should expand the silence to 16 meters from the fourth year of concession.
